Our anual Cinco De May fundraiser was great. We raised lots of money for the computer lab, and the numbers are still coming in as we have a generous donation of proceeds from 13 slot machines for the month of may at the Casino. Thanks to all our teachers and wonderful volunteers who made the day a big success.

Again, thanks to all that have donated time, money and items to the cause. Hope to see you all there on Saturday.
This weekend on our travels through Mexico for the Latin American Bloggers meeting, we received a wonderful and much needed donation.
Michele and Rob Kinnon in Playa Del Carmen, Executive Brokers for Bric International, locally handling sales and marketing for Turneffe Estates Belize donated Austin, a Backyardigans pinata and lots of Mexican candy to fill it.
I will leave you with a few pictures of Michele, Austin and the candy. It was quite funny watching Michele and the cab driver try to fit Austin in the trunk.
