As I write today’s Highro-glyphics, students are returning home from their WWW experiences here in Cairo and farther afield. Welcome back! We’ve shared some of our favorite group photos in this edition. Hope you enjoy this tiny glimpse into what has been an amazing week for all (and a productive one for our senior seminar group).
Enjoy the weekend with your family and friends sharing stories and memories of the adventures. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Sunday, refreshed and reinvigorated after a long week of learning, exploring and having fun!
