The closing dinner on Thursday evening was a perfect contrast to the excursion to the Holocaust Museum earlier in the day. First, on the way out of the museum, I ran into my FIFTH GRADE TEACHER, Mrs. Berman. What a small world! Then, after dinner, teachers presented a song, dance, poetry, etc. that is typical of their country. Some alumni joined in as well. It was awesome seeing people from Africa, India, Latvia, France, the U.S. and so many more, appreciating, applauding and enjoying each other’s customs and even joining in at times.
