A Vote of Thanks!

Thanks to all the many donations we have recieved from friends and family over the last year we were able to put together a "2009 Teacher Starter Kit" for each of our 9 teachers. In their bags they got: markers, crayons, scissors, glue, construction paper, rubber bands, and stickers. The teachers loved it!
Here is Mr. Gulumba, one of our geography teachers, and his homemade map and his new supplies.




Here is "A Vote of Thanks" that Mr. Matalulu, our deputy headmaster, wrote us.



All the the duct tape that has been sent has been used to repair library books as well as hang signs in the classrooms.



Of course I have also enjoyed all the supplies. Here is a sign for my Girls' Study Club. Basically it is an hour that I open the library to girls only to encourage them to come in and use it. Very often they feel intimidated by the boys and are hesitant to come in.


It has been a while since we were able to thank specific people on the blog. A lot of people have donated school supplies and yarn for the knitting club. Some of our recent donors are: Fritzes, Fields, Filos, Doug and Joan, Brad and Lonnie, Jack and Bonnie, a woman from Grandma Rolig's McDonalds Coffee group, Dvoraceks (also included toothbrushes and toothpaste) and Wahlbergs. I hope I am not forgetting anybody since the last time we posted about it! We appreciate all of it! Not to mention the wonderful letters and care packages that have sustained us while we are so far from home. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
