Daily Picture Grade 4 - Day 172

Last day of school. Last day of school at Concordia. Last day of school in Shanghai. Thought today's picture should be one that is unique to attending an international school in China. Our bus has a driver and two "ayi's" or helpers. I have ridden the bus back and forth to school and will tell you that these two Ayi's put up with a lot of crap from the kids. In the U.S. the bus driver would simply not let the misbehaved kids ride. Anyway, these two ladies have been riding the bus to and from school with Natalie for the last 5 years. Every year we give them a "Red Envelope" or Hongbao (红包). This year we also got a picture. Thanks to Ms Bao and Ms Wang! (Not sure of driver's name). Natalie had a very sad day, it was very hard to say goodbye to friends and teachers at school. She will knows she will make new ones, but it is still sad to see this big part of her life going away.

"Thanks bus Ayis and Driver! Goodbye Concordia!"
