What We're Grateful for Today
Long weekends always give us lots to be thankful for. As summer comes to its unofficial close, here's what made our week:

Once a teacher, always a teacher. An 85 year-old woman still leads class one weekend a year in her old one-room school.

Maybe you've seen this? Rebel with the best cause: the kid who ran a library of banned books from her locker.

They almost pulled it off: Some thieves wear cloaks, some dress in all black; these little goat-nappers were still in their footie pajamas when they got nabbed.

Never met a dance montage we didn’t like: 100 years of East London style in 100 seconds.


Enjoy the long weekend!
