A note from the principal's office

Update from the Principal's office:

We will be resuming our regular school hours of 8-4 this week. The first couple of weeks we had only half-day classes while we continued teacher training, as attendance was poor--typical of August here.

The children are happy to be back at school after their summer vacation. The students who were studying with us have been longing for the beginning of school because they generally have very little communication at home.

This year we have a lot of new students, and especially little ones. There are 20 children who are from 2 to 5 years old!

Maria, the assistant principal,  spends her days in the classrooms, training new teachers.

Note: If there is a volunteer who would like to work alongside us here, please contact us. The school may be reached at 809-590-8666 (Spanish, voice) Emails in Spanish can go to gmail.com   to the name paulinacolegio. If you write in English, just allow a few days extra for us to get it translated.

The hurricanes haven't arrived, but are passing by close enough to cause us some torrential rains.

We ask for your continued prayers for the school and its students, and we appreciate the help you all have given, especially for your prayers.  We know that the Lord is able to supply our every need.
