#72 March 2, 2026 Immigration

 For a change it wasn't raining this morning. After breakfast we all went to our respective tasks. Betty Jane worked with her music crew. One student was able to master playing, "Lord of the Dance" on the flute. Charlotte worked with her 43, Grade 6 students as they did a procedural piece of writing. Winnie and her class made raisin spice cookies and since her measuring cup was missing, they estimated the amounts. Despite this the cookies turned out very tasty. John and John met with the trades people and monitored their progress and assessed their quotes. The painting, other improvement and maintenance are progressing well. Colleen and Charlotte worked with Mr Millar and the students, training them to be mentors. They closed up the session with an enthusiastic game of Steal the Bottle, outside on the playground. It is a game for all ages and it gave the students a good workout. 

Mid-morning we were requested to bring our passports to Sr Auxilia’s office where immigration officers took a copy of them.  A bit later we received a summons to report the Immigration Office about 2 km away. It was bit unsettling, but we were well received with courtesy and gratitude for the work Canada is doing for the children at the two schools.
