Signs of Encouragement

The kids' school offers high school students the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. The IB program is taught in 1,976 schools in 134 countries, including the U.S., and its primary aim is to provide an internationally accepted education for entry into higher education. Students take six subjects, and must also complete 3 extra requirements: the Theory of Knowledge course, a 4000-word Extended Essay, and at least 150 hours in CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) areas. If students pass a foreign language component, they can receive a Bilingual Diploma.

The IB exams are coming up and are a big deal. Families have put up signs at the entrance to the school to wish their kids good luck.

This sign caught my eye. I blurred the names to protect the innocent (or not-so-innocent, as the case may be).
