Kang GURU and the Joeys Page for SMP
April 2007

They are young. They are lively and they love English. KGRE would like to introduce the latest English language club in the Kang Guru Connection Club (KGCC) network – the Joeys Club, KGCC #100 – Natalya, Sinta, Fatimah, Budi, Ali and Samuel. These students, all English language lovers, go to different junior high schools in their area. They are the Club Committee of this very special and very active KGCC. Here is some more information about them for you to enjoy.

Joeys-March by Aldo

The Joeys Committee (look above) is meeting after school in Natalya's classroom. They like meeting there because there are KGRE magazines in the book case and maps on the wall. Today they're looking at the new magazine. It's all about education.
