Term 3 and a Big Field trip

Term 3 and a Big Field Trip

Monday was the start of Term 3. It is going well. Today we had a
meeting of the mothers, aunties, and teachers. We have one every 2
weeks. It was so great to hear the mothers thanking the teachers for
all they do, and the teachers reciprocating. Bruce said that it takes
everyone to raise these children and everyone is important.

I announced today the news that the oldest grades are going on a field
trip to Livingstone next week, thanks to a gift from friends in the
US. These are the students who had Teacher Erna Bosman as a teacher
before she moved to Livingstone. Erna and her husband have been
planning our time in Livingstone. Teacher Bruce will also go and he
has never been there either.

Before I announced about the trip I read Romans 12 where it says,
"rejoice with those who rejoice, Weep with those who weep." I said
that I know everyone wants to go on the trip, but this time only this
group is going. So I don't want anyone bragging about getting to go,
or anyone being mean to someone if they aren't going. So things went
pretty smoothly and there wasn't much talk about the trip after that.

The last field trip I went on was to NYC with Sena's 8th grade class
at Good Shepherd School. The one thing I can be sure of is that all
of these kids will listen and obey and be great to be with it. Should
be fun!!
