To end the school year, we had THREE year end events as pictured above – the all school party, a small games and pool party, and a bowling outing for the handbell choir members.
After the fun and games and lunch time on May 23, we entered the school chapel and had a dessert and a bell recital. The students signed some songs and were given their certificates and we said ADIOS and HASTA AGOSTO!
While we all love summer and a change of pace, the students actually said, “Can’t we just come and hang out.” SERIOUSLY? Yea – play DUTCH BLITZ and SKYJO and SCRABBLE and DUOLINGO [yep they think that is play] and do crafts and maybe sing in the chapel and watch movies together. Well, that is fun but the staff have other chores.
BETSY has been working on plans for the NEXT school term. AMBER just took off to visit family and friends. VALIE is repairing the deck stairs.
There is a mission/work team coming on Saturday and as we were touring the grounds with the group leader, we noticed the stair supports were splitting. OOPS – safety FIRST. So before the group comes to do maintenance, Valie is maintenancing this issue. We just didn’t want 12 healthy young men stomping UP and crashing through! Does mission work team insurance cover that or would it be the school insurance? Let’s not find out.
Valie has found a nice shady place to do this job. Thankfully there is no rain in the sky today. We have a leak in the office and a few in the chapel roof that the group next week will be repairing – PLEASE PRAY for sunny days for those roof repairs! If there are other work teams interested, we have the list of maintenance needs – a fence that came down with Hurricane Season 2017 that is droopier every year, some windows that need to be removed and replaced (cement work required), power washing and painting, a roof seal job on the girls dorm building, general upkeep on the basketball court. Get in touch and maybe YOUR missions work team can lend a hand!
