It's Off to Work We Go


To build morale within the school and to incorporate the community there was a work day to help improve the school.  Parents, students, friends, and staff were all invited to come and help.  There were opportunities to paint tables and bookshelves, lay gravel walkways, continue finishing the fence around the school, and use machetes to chop down weeds (yes, actual machetes).  Chrissy was running a fever this day and her and Paige were not able to participate.  You would think with all the shots, vaccines, and medications we were taking we could stay healthy here.  The improvements made to the school were a small portion to what Mrs. Westby (the principal) has planned.  The students now have walkways to their classroom, the second stage to the fence that surrounds the school, and freshly painted bookshelves.  It was a lot of work, but completely worth it.
