This summer there will be many festivals taking place up and down the country and each one needs motivated, hard-working events staff to help run it smoothly. Here I'm sharing with you what jobs are available at festivals, the perks and benefits of working at a festival and the top 10 UK festivals to work at this summer. Enjoy!

JOIN KIDS COMPANY ON OUR ATTEMPT TO CONQUER THE HIGHEST PEAK IN THE PYRENEES (3404M).
A two-day spring ascent promises glorious weather and a lot of snow cover on the glacier meaning ice axes, crampons and ropes will be necessary. The final ascent will begin by torchlight as we head for the gullies and then on to the eventual steep, airy traverse to the peak.

It was a big shock to me when I graduated from Bordeaux Primary School to King Edward VII High School. It wasn’t only the fact that I went to boarding school at 13. Or that it was an all-boys school. Or that there were more than a 1000 sons competing for an education.
It was that the standards were so high. In primary school I was a big deal (or so I thought). First team cricket. First team soccer (half colours for soccer). Top three in athletics. Intellectually functional with a B+ average. Popular with the teachers and mildly popular with the opposite sex.
But I was working off a low base. I was a big fish in a small pond. I doubt there were more than 300 children at the school. Maybe there were 150 boys, all told.
At King Edward VII I became a small fish in a big pond. All I could get into was the D or E team in rugby. I didn’t get the nod for the cricket team. I was offered the position of scorer. I just couldn’t see myself as counting runs when I wanted to make runs. So, I declined. I was an embarrassment in the athletics department. My academic achievements weren’t exemplary. I did, however, crack the nod to join the chess team … as a reserve.
Luckily for me I had a wise mother. She said that she’d love me no matter what. All she expected from me was to try my best. And, that I’d never disappoint her. I failed miserably on the disappointment score. But that’s another story.
So, even though I never aced it at school, my self esteem was still intact. I tried my best and that was good enough for me. Not for one second did I feel that I wasn’t good enough.
You see, my mother never implied that she’d love me more if I got good marks at school. It didn’t matter to her whether I made the First team or not. She thought I was smart, with or without academic colours. She said, “I will love you, no matter what.”
That made all the difference.
For her, I was enough.
And, today I know that’s true. I’m enough.
In 2000 and 2001, Mozambique suffered the effects of two devastating floods which killed hundreds and left over half a million homeless. In an emergency camp ran by the Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters of Maputo, a community emerged witha dream to rebuild its future on a new basis.

Las Lomas High School - 2010 Jefferson Awards Students In Action Presentation Jefferson Awards
Students In Action is a national youth volunteer leadership, recognition and reward program, designed to pass the tradition of service on to the next generation.
Co-developed by Jefferson Awards for Public Service and Deloitte, it is now in over 250 High Schools.
Each spring, Student Leaders from the participating schools compete in regional competitions. They are asked to report on the implementation of the program, and the impact they've had, both in their schools and within their communities.
This coloring book is based on the inspirational story of abandoned deaf Dalmatian dogs, Izzy and Lottie Dot, and how their story of being bullied resulted in a story of kindness and love! They are the official mascots of The Kindness Revolution.

Greetings Readers!
It’s been a while since you have heard from us
hasn’t it? Our journalist has been busy these
few weeks! Here’s a recapitulation of some of
the top new stories hot from the press:
Halloween was one of the festivities that we
enjoyed. Popeye, Olive Oyl chaperoned a
princess from SNSD, and a wizard on their very
first trick or treat!
Because they were so charitable, Melanie and
Olivia donated their candy to Poetree Café!
Mark as the second winner of our biweekly Good
Citizenship Competition! He is proud to present
his prizes!
Ever since, Mark has shown acts of generosity!
For instance, one day, Mark brought us each and
every one of our classmates a water bottle!
2. Our 4th
grader Sam’s classroom projects
brought us to the outer planet of our solar
system and gas giant known as Jupiter.
While, one of our 5th
graders, Mark’s
classroom project took us on an adventure on
the anatomy of a rupture in the Earth’s crust!
Handling volcanoes, caused by the
convergence and divergence of tectonic plates,
is a messy endeavor indeed!
!
Naturally, we understand that everyone must be
curious as to the progress of our professions! On
the spotlight today is Dr. Mark Kim.
His professional measures are remarkable! Look at
these appointment cards Dr. Mark has created for
his clients!
His friendly demeanor welcomes all students! Of
course, buying him a treat also helps secure an
appointment in his very, very, very busy schedule!
Please make reservations prior to the desired
time!
3. We hope to see more involvement from out city
monitor and environmental officer! Please help
our classroom community stay free of littering and
sound pollution! Let us also beware of the
negative behavior pollution crisis going on! Our
learning laboratory must be kept clean, quiet,
friendly, and fun ! Let your positive fresh
perspective take the lead!
To end our article, let us share our classroom
jingle! It’s “Melody’s Songs, Mark’s park, Sam’s
Ham, Faith’s mace, and Sami’s lemon !” Our jingle
is just a string of the puns we have made with our
first and last names!
Ah yes! Here is a reminder of our newly enforced
policy! When a student hesitates to follow orders,
we now enforce a tickling treatment that Mark
abbreviated and coined as the “tick treat!”
Violaters beware of the tick treat!!!!!
Our classroom cop, Melanie, also has been making
wonderful progress! If you read her capture log, it
is clear to see that Melanie is successful in all her
surveilance endeavors!
Let’s take a peak at our tax collector Faith’s
progress! It looks like Faith has been too gentle in
her collections!
As we all can note, there are some outstanding
tax/fine payments that need to be made!
Remember always, this accountability system
teaches us that even our mistakes lead to
wonderful lessons, but also real rewards! Please
contribute to our Pizza Party :D ~
