An Amazing Journey to China |
|

How fortunate and blessed I feel to be able to journey to China with my dear friends Miss Cloonan and Miss Harrison to bring Anna home to the Cloonan family. This school year we will learn about a culture very different from our own, yet we will try to find ways that we are alike as well. We'll spend a lot of time comparing and contrasting our cultures. Cultural diversity is what makes the world go round.

May Miss Cloonan, Mary Kate, and Anna have a wealth of
