Rumor has it that the lights will be for sale. Custom pencils are also offered upon request.

Open House week is amongst us. Everyone puts on their best or worst faces, depending on how they are feeling about school at the moment. Bonus points for chain smokers staking out the terraces, and cultivating an honest image of school culture. Beware the random face that pops by your desk to just ‘ask a few questions’.
