Peace Assembly and Christmas

This past Friday Ms Richie leaded us in a beautiful and meaningful 'Peace Assembly '.  We are feeling especially grateful this school year and we were reninded of the importance of giving of ourselves and thinking of others .  The teachers and students were incredibly moved by this special assembly on the first day of December.  We are all very happy for our Hurricane season ending and the Christmas season's arrival . 

Listening intently to Ms Richie's reading of a beautiful poem on the power of giving to others.

A Day at CHMS post Irma and Maria

It's been so wonderful to get back to a bit of normalcy at the school .  Although there is loads to do , we have made incredible progress . 

The most important is the well being of the children attending .  They are such bright lights for the teachers.  They really inspire us to get on with things and move forward.

Sports Day

A great morning was had by all during our fun filled Sports Day .  We lucked out with the weather and managed to not get too hot in the BVI sun.  

Ms. Cloudia and Ms. Richie planned a wonderful , child centered event .  The students worked on their skills learned in PE and had a great time cheering each other on. 

This years theme was 'birds'.  We had the Flamingos, the Mockingbirds, the White tailed Doves and the Hummingbirds . The teachers were so creative with their chants , posters and badges. The students were so happy to cheer on their peers with the amazing pompoms made by their teachers .  

We were very lucky to have the Virgin Islands Archery Association put on a demonstration.  It was fun to watch the students and teachers participate. 

Thank you to all the parents that came out to volunteer at the different stations and to all that came out to support their children and cheer their team on .  

Getting ready to go !
