Finale Natation (Swim Meet)

Last Friday was the Lausanne all-city swim meet at the Mon-Repos pool.

Michael represented his class, competing against 11 other boys from Lausanne schools and placed third!The line-up.

Roman (aka Red Rackham from the TinTin party) stretches a hand of congratulations.

The class was proud, as were we. These kids have a city identity, helped created by events like these, but also a sense of school and class; a sense of place not easy to come by in America anymore, I think.
