They were also requested to provide a short quote that reflects something which has been special. ขณะนี้เรามาถึงสิ้นสุดปีการศึกษาและรอดความท้าทายของมาตรการโควิด 19 และการเรียนออนไลน์. การเรียนที่โรงเรียนนั้นดีกว่ามาก บล็อกสุดท้ายของปีการศึกษา เราให้นักเรียนเลือกภาพที่ประทับใจของตัวเอง และคิดคำคมที่พิเศษสำหรับตัวเองขึ้นมา.
