First Few Days

Everyone arrived safely on 2 different flights along with a very largepile of luggage.  Chara and Michaela have set a new record for baggage
weight, 92.5 lbs full of craft supplies.  Thanks to Tina and West Jet
for helping to expedite 5 bags that were close to the record.  Herb,
Chris, Val and I managed to bring down 9 bags that each hovered just
over 50 lbs via Air Canada.

By 8 pm Sunday night we had managed to unload all the luggage, have a
delicious light meal prepared by Sandra and Joanna and begin to
prepare resources  our week in the schools.

There have been a number of changes already due to government
workshops and problems with the computer lab but, as usual, the team
has pulled together and made the best of it.  Val has been doing an
inventory in the new library while she awaits the arrival of our
shipment, Chara and Michaela have been working with the Kindergarten
and Grade One students, and Chris has been trying to get the computer
lab functioning well enough to introduce both students and teachers to
some exciting Math resources.  He finally succeeded this morning and
an excited group of Grade 5 students began to see what was there to
help them.  Meanwhile, Herb and I are doing the graduation week
activities with the 24  Grade 6 students.

I have attached a few pictures to help you see what is happening.

Blessings to all
