Our last day of school was last Monday (per usual, we found out when finals were four days beforehand), and I left Yongfeng for the last time (for now!) on Tuesday afternoon. The school held a send-off party for us, in which various teachers and student representatives gave adorable speeches about us, and we received lots of cards and little presents. The homeroom teachers were in charge of getting the kids organized to do this, and my classes' homeroom teachers were a little last minute about all of this. But, my kids still got together lots of little things for me by themselves, from homemade cards that I'm not allowed to open until I'm back in the US, to cell phone charms and glow-in-the dark bracelets. Most importantly, I have everyone's contact information (screen names and phone numbers), so when/if my kids have internet access, we can still be in touch!
