cheryloakes50 -> Interesting, same kind of thing with Canada, too.
Peggy George -> do your students really understand the importance of going global?

Peggy George -> when did the passport requirement come about?

cheryloakes50 -> Peggy, where was she located.
Peggy George -> that's really exciting Alice!
Peggy George -> I wish I could remember Cheryl--some kind of sister city project and then came to visit her school too
