"Wild Card Inside"
“ Little angels they were. Polite, cheery, and amenable, these are the students of St. Barnabas Primary School. The first day (Monday, June 15) that Melissa and I arrived at St. Barnabas, we were led by the inspirational Ms. Shaw, the school principal. The moment she stepped into the Standard III & IV classroom, the children’s faces immediately brightened with smiles, as if on cue. The scribbling pens in their hands paused mid-sentence, and the children all rose and greeted in an innocently imperfect unison, “Good morning, Ms. Shaw.” The most adorable scene I have ever seen. ”
