Mail

Today I got 3 pieces of mail, talk about a good day:) I received an invitation to my neices b-day party and a thank you card for the gift I gave her. Two wonderful ladies from my church also wrote me nice long letters. It seems that my sweetheart of a friend Amy S. has been passing out envelopes at church with my address and a stamp already on it:)
My weekend was quiet. We had parent/teacher interviews on Sunday. They are very different here than in Canada. It's more like a ceremony. The teachers formally hand out the report cards in front of all the parents and make comments about the students work habits. After if there is any concerns the parents talk with the teachers individually. We also gave out awards for the highest mark in every class, for the student who puts in the most effort and for any students who were never late and never absent (only 5 in the whole school). These awards were a first for Coram Deo and I'm very curious how many students will never be absent or late next term now that they know there's a prize:)
I plan on going to Jacmel (southern part of Haiti) this weekend with a bunch of people from church. We don't have school on Friday so I'm only missing one day of work. We leave EARLY thurs. morning, it's not that far but we want to beat the crazy traffic. I'm really looking forward to this mini vacation, it'll be a nice treat.
