Students celebrate SMP 56 anniversary

JAKARTA: Students and teachers commemorated the SMP 56 state
junior high school 68th anniversary on Thursday by distributing
red-and-white paper flowers.

"We hope the public will sympathize with our actions in the
land swap deal," said Joni Elian, the school committee chairman,
as quoted by Tempo News Room.

The students and teachers marched to the intersection of Jl.
Panglima Polim and Jl. Melawai, South Jakarta, and distributed
the flowers to motorists. They also handed out tumpeng (rice
shaped in cones served with side dishes).

SMP 56's roll is still open for new students and the school is
offering a single year's tuition for free. So far, 34 students
have registered. -- JP
