Today is the last day of school, and it is pouring rain. The BBQ plans are altered. Several students are using the morning to finish last bits of work, and the mood is peaceful, a little subdued.
  We had an overnight last night, 10 students stayed: movies, hula hooping, eating, playing music. There were a few students who were able to put aside their mutual conflicts and fling themselves into the evening. That's community for you.
   But I am tired. A fun evening, and a quiet end to the long and satisfying school year.
