The hard thing about living this life with the International school, is that there is so much coming and going.  I believe I mentioned it last spring when changes were afoot.  Well Grace has just found out 2 of her gang-of-five will not be here next year.  One friend is returning to Germany as her father's contract here is up while the other is off to boarding school.  Her graduating class will be down to under 25 at this point as it's doubtful they'll be any newcomers at this late stage.  Families try not to move their kids in the last two years of the IB program as their classes are two year continuous courses.  There will have to be some merging of groups next year...
