chicken, please

You may or may not have heard already, but I have been diagnosed with chickenpox.

(I KNOW! WTF?!)

This means the whole of next week I will not be in school.

You will still have work to do, and I've assigned some people to help me look after it. Please don't take my absence as opportunity to party, tempting though it seems. And yes, I have assigned someone to be on what I privately call A**hole Alert - to notify me if my EL periods get stolen for another subject.

Please cooperate with your friends whom I've assigned duties to. Be good, and if you can't be good, be careful.

See you all soon.

Love
Ms Straaten

3) and clips from a movie by Steven Spielberg about the events of Munich 1972, titled "Munich":

How far are things like the Asian Youth Games (AYG) and the Olympics essential to building world peace?
