Reminders for the week
- Zoo field trip forms went home last week. If you did not receive one, please email me and I will send home a new copy. Also, if you have a zoo pass, please photocopy both sides and send it in as payment for the field trip!
- New volunteer sign up will be coming out from Carolyn next week. We are about to dive into our final project of the year and there may be a few days where I will call for extra volunteers to come help out! Keep an eye out!

Wrapping up Dwankhozi week
Weeks always go by fast, but this week especially came and went. On Monday, I was so nervous to have Maurice Masala here and to welcome him to our school for the first time. By Friday, I was wishing and hoping we just had more time! The week was filled with great conversations with students in grades 3-5 and hands-on learning for students in K-2. I am reminded that this partnership has and will always be about relationships. Those relationships will grow and change over time as new faces emerge and we say goodbye to old faces, but it will always continue to grow. Having Maurice, and later Idah, visit our school has been a tremendous gift to our partnership. We have deepened relationships and there is no doubt in my mind that those two individuals will go home with full minds, hearts, and bellies :)
At our closing assembly we looked back at how the partnership has grown over the last few years and where it all started. This video captures the essence of the partnership and really how far we have come. Shout out to my husband for making it :)
