We have completed our first monthly test of the year and the top students of the year are:
This year our Standard IV students (17 of them) will be taking place in the Government standardized test sometime in November. We will send out prayer requests with their specific names closer to time so you can pray them through the test like you did for our current Standard V students.
We do ask for prayers right now as we have some bug floating through the school body with close to 20 kids out yesterday. A couple returned today but we still have a significant number out not feeling well.
In addition to handing out placement awards for the first test last week, we also had a parent’s meeting. This is similar to the PTA in the states. We first had a leadership meeting and now we had the actual parent’s meeting. there were about 85 people in attendance in our new dining hall. The meeting is run jointly by the headmaster and the President of the parent’s group. One thing of note is they take up an offering at the end as a motivation gift to the teachers. Another is that they have decided to build a wall around the school and the parents plan to pay for it. They don’t do fundraisers here so I am curious if this will really work or not.
Also had an interesting situation with the car. Stabilizer rod broke and had to have it replaced. Nothing like a 1/2″ solid metal rod snapping and hitting one of the speed mountains to get your attention.
