Stepping Out of the Boat

Thanks Lakeview!!! You sent us a package of awesome school supplies on September 23, and it arrived on November 30th! We're amazed that it arrived at all. We were so excited to see things like sticky notes, colored pencils, erasers, etc. It sounds so simple, but we really don't have those things at school.


Thank you Lakeview!!!



The box was gigantic and packed full of great school goodies. WOW!
We plan to give some of the colored pencils and construction paper to some of the poorest kids in the country when we go to work for Habitat for Humanity tomorrow in San Juan.



Right now, school is absolutley crazy. Apparently, in the month of December, school becomes an absolute joke. Tonight, there is a huge production at school called "Welcome Christmas" or something like that. All week, class has been interrupted by blasting music and children singing off-key Christmas carols. Children normally sing really off-key Christmas carols, but the difference here is that the voices are blasted through sub-woofer speakers loud enough to be heard clearly for a couple city blocks.

They built huge stage in the gym/auditorium/cafeteria - so huge that it looks like Aerosmith is coming for a concert at school. We'll take pictures and put them on the blog later.

Check out the pictures and short videos page for some photos of our Thanksgiving.
