On October 24th, Abramson's Dance Team participated in an event called "Thrill the World" at Zephyr Stadium. This event was part of a worldwide attempt to break the world record for the amount of people dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" at the same time. The Dance Team met at Abramson to get dressed up as zombies and then went to the stadium to learn and perform the dance with other Michael Jackson fans. They were the best-dressed and most talented group there, and our very own Mia Rodgers took home free passes to "This is It" and the movie soundtrack as the 2009 Zombie Prom Queen! Not only that, but the ladies of Abramson Dance Team helped to break the world record with 33,000 people dancing to "Thriller" at the same time around the world! It was a truly "thrilling" experience that we can't wait to do again next year!

Also, they visit Kenilworth Science & Technology School which is another school of Pelican Educational Foundation and they played basketball with the students in gym.

It was a wonderful camp. Our sophomores –Stephen, Thang, Spencer - enjoyed it too much. View was magnificent and hiking all around the lake was full of excitement.

Fishing for hours and seeking when a fish will have a bite never became boring after seeing some freshmen already caught. Breakfasts, BBQ, and games (with a lot of risk and strategy in it) were full of excitement. Now, we are looking forward to have another break, than we are back on camping…
