This morning John MacInnis, Sr Auxillia, Sr. Barbara, Goodson and a driver left at 5:20 AM for Kasama. They were picking up window panes, mattresses and various other articles.
They have hired a glazier, carpenter, plumber, welder, mason and a painter to do repairs and some jobs at the St Odilia school.
Winnie was in her Home Economics class and she gathered all the ingredients needed for a chocolate cake. He class is always popular and she had a full house, boys and girls. It turned out very well and was devoured in no time.
John Gillies continued his inventory of areas which need attention in the school buildings and grounds. Colleen and Charlotte worked on games with Grade 9 students. Today dominoes were the first lesson, followed by some dice games, snakes and ladders and UNO. These games are excellent for reenforcing math skills and understanding of math concepts. Colleen also worked with teachers, Mr. Miller and Ms. Memory on active learning strategies in the classroom.
Later in the afternoon three year nine students, Saboma, Prince and Leonard, asked for help learning Backgammon. After 3 or 4 YouTube instructional videos they were on their way. These young people are a joy to work with. They have such great interest in the activities and are always eager to help others. They will all be excellent mentors.
At 8:30 PM John MacInnis, Goodson, two students and a driver arrived back from Kasama. Sr Auxillia caught a ride back with the parish priest. The bus was bursting at the seams, loaded with 30 mattresses, a load of window panes, paint, spare tire, five people and other articles. It was a long but very productive day.
