It was Spirit Week in the middle school last week, sponsored by the student council, with the usual themes:  Twins Day, School Colors Day, Gangsta Day.  

Gangsta Day?  Yup, we got boys in the hood, though looking a little more like bad cowboys than Nortenos or Serranos, Bloods or Crypts.  The color's not right, and they're way too nice.

Gangsta Day was meant to refer back to cops and robbers, and prison uniforms with black and white stripes.  I suppose the kids hadn't seen those movies.

Photos 3/4 are of Tyne (South Africa), Cristina (Spain) and Emily (USA), nicknamed The Three Amigas, for the fact that they are seldom apart.  Sadly, two of the Amigas are leaving Senegal and returning home this summer, the reality of children attending international schools.
