Programme Noël

Sunday afternoon we had our Christmas program/award ceremony/parent-teacher interviews all rolled into one. The classes had been practicing their songs/skits/poems since the beginning of December so we were eager to see them present all their hard work. In typical Haitian style we started 30 minutes late to a half full audience and by the time the program was finished almost all the seats were filled. The whole event went well, and it was wonderful to celebrate the birth of Christ with our students and their families.

Samuel and I presented awards to the first place student in each class and one student from each class who put forth great effort this past term.
This is the junior kindergarten class, they are the youngest class but their performance was one of the best.

This is the class for students with learning disabilities. They did a GREAT job!


This is Grade 5, they organized part of the program themselves.



I tend to avoid the spotlight but felt it was necessary to wish the students and their families a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year.
