Term 2 Closing

CGA closed the second term of the school year on Friday, 30th July 2010. The closing day started with a good chapel service led by Teacher Dorothy and her 1st grade class teaching about the theme for the term, “Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done.” They led the school in some songs, dances and a short skit.
During chapel, the school said goodbye to Teacher Fenny who had been volunteering in 3rd and 4th grade for the term to fill a shortage we had in our staff. The kids were sad to see her go, but still presented her with many cards, letters and other gifts.

The school also welcomed a new teacher, Mr. Paul Otieno. He will be teaching Social Studies and English in the upper primary classes. In the past he has been honored as one of the top teachers in our District, so we are excited to welcome him.

After chapel, the students were dismissed, except for the leaders who remained behind to help do a thorough cleaning of the classrooms and campus, practicing servant leadership. Then they enjoyed a special meal with the staff to close out the day.

Because of the Referendum, this holiday will be a long one, five weeks between terms. The school will have 2 weeks of remedial teaching at the end of August and then open Term 3 in early September.
