The gathering on Wednesday marked the first time the district has hosted an all- elementary student conference. “We hear so much from adults, we never hear from kids,” said Grant Principal Alan Friedenberg. The workshop was intended, in part, to bring the diverse student population in both Santa Monica and Malibu together. Most of these students will go on to become classmates in high school, some even running for student council in the future, Friedenberg noted. Each school sent a delegation of their brightest fourth and fifth grade students to the conference, as nominated by their principals. The students were then split into six “color councils,” each of which included a good representation of each school. Only one third grader was picked to participate in the conference — Nico Balderrama, the student-elected historian at Grant Elementary School.

❚ In August, News of the Weird wrote about 12-year-old Kyle Krichbaum's lifelong obsession with the sound and feel of vacuum cleaners and his collection of 165 machines and his five-a-day vacu- uming habit. In September, two Georgia Tech researchers told a Strange Brew By John Deering conference in Austria that many owners of the Roomba vacuuming robot seem to ascribe human qualities to it, including giving it a name and, in some cases, dressing it up. Professor Beki Grinter and her colleague said part of the Roomba obsession was because a robot qualifies as a gadget, which means that males can be expect- ed to do more of the household vacuuming. ❚ Two high-ranking D.C. school officials were charged in recent months with stealing money from the school system, including Brenda Belton (who pleaded guilty in August), who stole almost $650,000 while she was in charge of all charter schools in Washington, D.C., and Eugene Smith, who allegedly stole $46,000 just after he left the job as the schools' director of inter- nal audit.
