Movie Nite and Soccer

We've had a busy weekend at the school so far! Last night we had our first senior class sponsored movie night. We showed The Emperor's New Groove first for the little ones and then the older kids watched The Patriot. I would say the evening was a success! We had a lot of kids come and they all seemed to have a great time. Popcorn, snacks, Tampico, and kebabs were enjoyed by all as kids, families, and staff watched movies, played soccer, and played on the playground.

The senior class is raising money to go on a senior class mission trip next semester. I am the senior class sponsor this year so I have been keeping busy helping them plan events to raise support. We have had dress down days at school where the kids get to wear other clothing than their uniforms. Each day we sell cookies, candy, juice, and FanIce (ice cream) after school. Once a month we host a bake sale where the students can purchase homemade treats at lunch. Now we can add "movie nite" to the list of fundraisers!

It's been fun getting to know the seniors this year. I don't teach any of their classes so it's fun to be able to learn more about them outside of the classroom. Our plan is to take the six seniors to Italy. We are still looking into where we will stay and what mission group we will work with. If anyone has an ideas, I'm all ears!

Today was another busy day as our school soccer teams played matches against the kids from Pram Pram. These kids are GREAT athletes and they dominated both the guys game and the girls game. Our girls did actually score once though! The kids from Pram Pram are kids that have been taken from living situations that have not been good. There is a school and boarding houses for them near the ocean about 45 minutes away from East Legon. A few teachers and I help with their Sunday school program once a month. The kids there are so sweet and I am always encouraged when I see them worship the Lord. So it was fun to see the kids interact with our students at the soccer game today. Christy (our coach and second grade teacher) planned lunch for everyone and everyone seemed to really enjoy the fellowship!



Now I must write my finals...
