A recent dream of R Craig's: three people at the water cooler and first has to use both hands to pick up drink because their hands are so small. They must have smallest hands in the world, if so they could get into Guinness World record and go on talk show circuit and become famous and rich. The second person thinks they have the smallest feet and proceeds to show the others their small feet. Again, they could become famous and wealthy. The third person considers themselves not very smart and believes they have the smallest brain in the world. Well they all go to England and present their cases to Guinness. The first comes out elated, they have the smallest hands and will be famous. The second has similar success and is designated to have the smallest feet in the world. The third person after assessment comes out and asks, 'who is ??'.
Guess whom? You had to be there.

Daniella's Report:
Daniella went rock climbing in Kingston on Wednesday with the school Adventures class. She is afraid of heights, but she went up half way. Her partner got to do extra climbing as Daniella spotted for her.
She has a canoe paddle to work on during break, she has to sand it and get it ready for finishing, possibly decoration. This is the paddle she will use with the outdoor education class canoeing later this spring.
On Tuesday night at school she saw the Broadway version of 'Newsies' the same play ENSS is doing this spring. Daniella is working with the sets and behind scenes production.
