The school has grown a lot and never stops growing just like the kids who go there and get so much out of having somewhere close to home to feel important and safe.
Here are a few random bits and pieces of this school year of pulled out of emails.
Audiologists.....Two volunteer Audiologists came to the School this past Friday and tested students who had been identified with possible hearing issues. Several children were fitted with hearing aids, a few had major infections and were sent to the PolyClinic for treatment and one little girl was found to have a perforated ear drum. Unfortunately, she will have to have surgery to repair the damage. The next step will be to send her to Belize City for additional evaluation. Many thanks to Dr. Linda and Dr. Edith!
Computer Teacher....The Ministry of Education finally approved the salary for a designated Computer Teacher!!!! Starting tomorrow morning, Mr. Shane will be keeping the computer lab filled with students anxious to learn with this incredible new technology. YIPPEE!!
In all, hundreds of people through out the nation of Belize and the world contributed their time, talents and/or treasure to make this miracle a reality. The 513 students of Holy Cross will be blessed for years to come by this incredible educational facility!!
2 emails in particular that deserved their own post - a dialogue between Father Sam and Mis
s Francis. We saw the parade on Friday. It was great to see all the kids get excited and spread the word about recycling.
AndreaGood Morning, Laurie! Hey if you haven't already started on the blog stuff, I would like to add a little info. Our daughter is a 3rd grade teacher and she has her class and actually the whole elementary school, making monetary donations for the playground transportation fund. They are all bringing in pennys one day, nickels another, dimes another, and so on. The kids even made me a card that she gave me on Mother's day explaining their donations! I just thought this may add another element to the efforts that are taking place to get this playground and all the donated supplies to the school. Sandy

The students from Georgia are so fortunate to be allowed to come and learn and work with the faculty and staff at Holy Cross. Students worked in various faculty and staff roles at the school. Holy Cross was a gracious and welcoming host to our volunteers and the experience that GSC students gained while in Belize was priceless. Gainesville State could not have asked for a more practical and beneficial host school.
