Word From the Teacher *Today marks the last day of the school year for 2012-2013. It was an honor and privilege knowing and teaching you. I learned as much from you as hopefully did from me. I hope that you have a fantastic summer vacation . . . and may grow to be proud, dignified, and true. Remember to always do your very best, be happy, and a healthy, wonderful life awaits you. “Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”—Dalai Lama Sampai jampa lagi! . . . Mr. Fulumirani
