Judy Berna had a great week, receiving two special packages in the mail. One, from one of her favorite authors, Mary Roach, who had gone above and beyond by signing a special inscription in her latest book.

Some day, once she learns Portuguese, she may get to read it!

Rebecca: On Friday, The Academy of Bekaxander in Voorhinth will be hosting an Olympics for the last day of Greek Week camp. There will be many Feats of Intellect competitions between the kids and their parents. The kids are also performing a traditional Greek dance, and reciting original poems of different types of "love" accompanied by original music on traditional Greek instruments.
