Dorm Survivor- May 1, 2012

Tuesday, May 1 is Niger day so there is no school.  So with no school we had to have something for dorm kids to do... thus DORM SURVIVOR!

Water Balloons helped keep us all cool!

Eating a mango the fastest with no hands!!

Green Aztec Horses psyching up for the next challenge

  The kids were divided into two teams and they had challenges all day.  IT was a huge success, Ruth, Nikki and Andy did a great job planning the activities, everyone had a great day!

Mikaylah and Ruth were on BLUE FIRE!

Beth cooked the eggs for the breakfast competition

Blue war paint on Gentle Beth :)

John's 17th birthday one month later!

As John's birthday was during the break and we had lots of April birthdays we decided to celebrate John's birthday plus one month!  So today he is seventeen and one month! Happy Birthday John!

Breaking Ground

the big job right now is moving the septic tank...

THey have broken ground and begun the addition on the dorm parents' apt.  Since the Grays have three children we asked if we could build a third bedroom on to the end of the dorm.

Fusball!

We had a dorm wide Fusball tournament double elimination...  and the winners are...

Multicultural Day

Asyncrite and Tryphene and John represented Benin & Togo

Chung, Yeon Hoo, Dae Yoen, Yun In and Mi Yoen helped the little ones

Josh (in the guard outfit he made) and Amelia stood up for the Queen!

Only four Kiwis in the whole school!

The Americans were split into two groups

Beth and Deborah and the Starke sisters helped the little ones

Do three halves make a whole?  Zeb, Mikaylah and Jayson are proud of their Canadian side!

The kids worked very hard to bring their cultures to life and to share them with the rest of the student body.

Sweet Sixteen Chung Hyun

Chung Hyun turned sixteen today and he wanted the sparkly sweet sixteen decorations that Amy got, so we were happy to make him happy!  Happy Sweet sixteen Chung Hyun!

Our April Fool jokester

He really wanted "jelly" aka jello with his cake
