Quisqueya News: Thursday, April 15
A medical team from the Blood Tribe, one of the largest Indian tribes of Canada, joined us on campus this week. Their group of doctors, nurses, EMTs, and other medical helpers has been busy at work serving Haitians at several locations.
Two leaders from the Blood Tribe medical team spoke to our students about living as part of a tribe, life on the reservation, and their medical careers. They brought along gifts of school bags and t-shirts for students.
This week several students enjoyed playing Monopoly at break and lunch time.
A freshman student works on her drawing during break time.
Now for a reading update from the English Department:
Recently, 5th and 6th grade students finished reading Bridge to Terabithia. 7th and 8th graders are reading The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, and 9th and 10th graders are reading Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. The junior class will finish The Great Gatsby this week and will begin Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird on Monday. The senior class is wrapping up its study of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Speaking of the senior class, this year’s graduating students are preparing to leave on their Senior Trip this weekend. They will travel to northern Haiti to visit historical sites such as the Citadelle and Sans Souci Palace, as well as spending a little time at the beach.
All of Quisqueya’s high school students (9th-12th grade) are looking forward to our upcoming spring dinner dance on May 7th.
