Angelina Jolie Visits Kenyan School Only to Walk Out Adopting Half the Children



Infamous couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently took their six multicultural children on an African safari in the blazing Serengeti of Kenya. While the children were basking in the sun and enjoying the unique sights of all the African animals, Angelina was especially intrigued with the local School Houses on sight. Although this trip was originally planned as a “family” vacation, Angelina spent most of her time with the impoverished children, even going as far as sneaking children into her hotel suite.

 The highlight of the trip was their last day spent in Kenya. Angelina brought her family over to the school she had been spending the most time at. Brad thought this was a great idea stating, “I love giving my kids the opportunity to interact with children from other cultures who aren’t as fortunate as them. I think this is something I hope every parent should be able to offer to their children.”
 
 Everything was going swimmingly until on the plane ride home, Brad and Angelina realized the mistake that they had made. The couple had accidentally brought home the wrong children. The pair stated that “The children all look almost identical, and it could have happened to anybody!”

Although the mistake was corrected and Angelina and Brad’s children were returned to them safely, Angelina could not bare to return the Kenyan children she had mistakenly took with her. She ended up adopting the three children she had mistaken for her own. They are now a happy family of eleven. J

First Sattire Post:


Students from Collingwood School are overly joyed when they hear that they have school whilst all other public schools have a Pro-D day. "I just love the feeling of getting up early in the morning! Especially when I know that I have a full day of academic learning ahead of me. It just makes me feel like I accomplished so much." said a proud grade 9 Collingwood student. On Friday the 23rd while all other kids in the West Vancouver area were asleep, Collingwood students proudly walked into their school with beaming smiles on their faces. Collingwood headmaster, Mr. Wright was thrilled by the students work habits on Friday, “It’s very interesting, our students seem to be in a better mood and more eager to study when the other schools have a Pro-D day.” While a small group of students call their peers “freaks” for liking the fact that they have school, the vast majority of kids highlight this day on their calendars and look forward to it from months in advance.

Over the past couple of months talk has been going around the hallways about shortening the summer holidays. This year 9 of the 14 students who made it to the annual Collingwood Speech Contest talked about how great it would be to shorten the summer break to only a month. Posters and lunch groups have formed to create a petition to send to the School Board to ask for a shorter break. The following is an extract from the letter being send to the School Board: We feel that by extending our school year we will be able to learn our topics in greater depth, the extra month and a half will also leave enough time to add 2 more tests to be written for each subject. It is obvious from the attitude of the students that Collingwood is an excellent school that makes learning the most joyful activity for these youth. Looking for a school to send your kid to? Collingwood School seems like the perfect choice!
