First Day of School

The long-awaited day is now past.  It was such a joy to see all the children in their bright new uniforms and all the teachers going above and beyond to receive their students with joy and excitement.

The first children to arrive... about half an hour early!  

Some of the children do not have their uniforms yet.

Looking pretty in their new uniforms.

As parents arrived with their children our kindergarten staff (Lovelie pictured in uniform) took their children to their specially prepared classrooms...

...and Petion verified each uniform.

 Taking the kindergarteners to their classrooms.

The kinder teachers spent hours decorating yesterday and this morning to prepare for their students

Lovelie taking her students to their seats.

 

The primary school also welcomed their students.

At 8:00 the first flag of the year was raised.

 The staff shared a few words and sang and prayed with the children.

Then they filed into their classroom while some of the parents looked on.
