Central park was full of students teachers and parents who came to show their support against violence within the community. Vernon Wilson gave a speech about why it was so important to come together on this issue and let everyone know that violence is not acceptable and abuse will not be tolerated. The Wilson's are making an effort to let people know that there are options to get to a safer place and that they are willing to help people who are caught in abusive situations.

After the speech - Holy Cross and San Pedro High school kids marched through the streets of San Pedro sending the message out loud and clear - with anti violence slogans on their signs and the chats of justice for all. They even handed out flyers in spanish and english to let people if they or someone they know is a victim of abuse to contact Francis Wilson for help.

Lots going on over the Holiday Season...

Holy Cross School has been active in the HIV/Aids march as well as the third annual lighted boat parade. Thanks to both San Pedro Sun and Ambergris today for posting about both events. Due to tech troubles with this post please copy and paste the news paper links into a new browser to see pictures.

Students from Holy Cross Anglican School recently observed the National HIV/AIDS Awareness Day through numerous learning activities and by participating in a parade in downtown San Pedro. In addition the entire staff of Holy Cross attended a two day HIV/AIDS Workshop presented by the Anglican Diocese utilizing a grant from Episcopal Relief and Development. This paragraph taken from an email update from Miss Francis with pictures below.

Holy Cross march against HIV/AIDS

Valiant chants of "Protect yourself" and "Be careful and Abstain" echoed through the streets as students from the Holy Cross School took to the streets for the fight against HIV/Aids. With posters in hand promoting safe sex and ways you cannot get infected, students held high their flyers and the message was sent! The students marched from the bridge to town and back.

Holiday Boat Parade lights up the sea!

Boats of every shape and size were imaginatively adorned with decorations that captivated the senses and stimulated imaginations at the 3rd annual lighted Boat Parade. Seafarers and landlubbers of all ages were dazzled by the highly-watted, joyously-spirited and oh-so-bright parade that was anticipated by many. This year, the sparkling spectacle saw more than 10 decorated vessels parading against a dark December sky and delighted those watching from the shore.

Sending a big shout out to the folks at Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services Sue M sent me 5 lesson plan pdf files and a document of websites with some good information and downloadable materials for me to check out. I will be making these available in some form to all schools who would like a copy preferably via email or by flash drive directly to school computers. I am very grateful for any and all help - so much to learn in this area.

Isla Bonita and Holy Cross kids marched through town with artistic hand made signs. Both schools were enthusiastic and made lot's noise to let people know they are serious about reusing recycling and keeping Ambergris Caye clean.
