Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Michael.
This is definitely a family in our school, and I will
contact them to contact you. Great detective work!

Looks like the card will be going home soon!

wait, how does the principal have the contact info? Or does he just recognize the children?

Well, firstly, it's a private school.. so probably isn't that large.
Secondly, schools keep track of contact info and pictures of children.

She was very happy and appreciative. Even if she had offered one, I would decline a reward.

Nice! I wish the news stations would cover stuff like this instead of the regular fare: fires, burglaries, deaths, etc. We know 'sh!t happens,' we would like to know when ... wait, what's the opposite of sh!t? Anyways, awesome job!

Now if only there were any single females in Anandtech forums, you would get brownie points.

Good job. CheapArse for Elite voted.
