The Extraordinary in the Ordinary [ chuan yi ]

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary. The picture shows our newly-built school arch just right in front of our school gate. It may seem ordinary to us,just something we would pass by when we enter the school. Even to other neighborhood citizens,it seems like just any other "decoration" for the school. Who knows, it is actually, a gift from the alumni of River Valley. It symbolizes the school as the Red and Blue on the arch is the prominent school colours of River Valley. This small action from the alumni show how much River Valley meant to them. The fact that River Valley meant as something important to them was the reason why they are willing to give something back to River Valley - The River Valley School Arch. Although many people were not pleased or complained about the school arch due to its meaningless existence but I think that the school arch really stands out as one of the icons in River Valley.
