Quisqueya News: Tuesday, March 16
We have had quite a fun last few days here at Quisqueya!
On Friday, Mr. Day led an interesting chapel time that featured lots of show-and-tell items from the home of his family member who has lived in Haiti for over 50 years. He brought in very old-fashioned versions of a camera, typewriter, banjo, tennis racket, telephone, and several other props to lead into his discussion of old and new things.
Next, our students enjoyed a special day of celebration – Soccer Day! For the last few weeks, the US Army has been using part of our campus as a command center for their relief work in Port-au-Prince. This week they finished using our soccer field, so the kids were very excited to play soccer again. Our director, Mr. Hersey, decided to celebrate the return of the soccer field with a special lunchtime menu of hamburgers and French fries and then a fun all-school soccer game.
Mr. Day coaches younger elementary students.
Water break! The weather was excellent and sunny for Soccer Day.
Pre-K/K students Gabriel and Carla cheer on the soccer teams with Mrs. Kilpatrick, the junior and high school English teacher.
The game between the junior high and high school students was hotly contested and ended in a shootout. It came down to the final kick by the high school team to decide the winner…
…and Annabelle kicked the winning goal! Victory for the high school team.
With a few minutes remaining, Mr. Day let one final cheer with our youngest Eagles. What a fun Soccer Day!
