My basketball team won!!! Before you get too excited... we won by default because the other team didn't show up. We played anyways with whichever girls were around and we lost to them, but thankfully it doesn't count!!
Yesterday, we didn't have any school as the teachers requested a day to write their exams. I was so looking forward to a quiet uninterrupted day to get a PILE of work done. When I got to school Randy announced that he was going downtown to visit a school that I have wanted to visit for some time now. He invited me along and I couldn't resist. We read in the newspaper last week that this school was closing its doors due to lack of funding. This school called C.E.S. is also a place for assessments for students with special needs and a training centre for teachers who work with students with special needs. We were sad to hear that they were closing their doors and went to speak to them about their situation. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and the director quickly assured us that they were not shutting their doors for good as the article indicated but rather they ran out of money for this fiscal year and therefore were shut down for the month of December but will re-open in January. We were relieved to hear this and although they were not currently functioning they allowed me to tour the facilities and see how their programs are set up. While we were downdown we also visited another school for special needs students that we sponsor a few a students at. It was great to see that there are programs like these for students with special needs. Granted there are not enough programs like this and there needs to be more but it was encouraging to see these schools in action. On the way home, Randy gave me a tour of downtown. I love downtown, it's so full of activity and action all the time. There are people everywhere selling stuff and going about their business. It's even more fun on the back of a motorcycle, you feel more a part of the action. Unfortunately, my car is fixed and I can pick it up tomorrow. Back to boring life with a car!
