#Issue31 #endofmidterms #nurturing #talent and #wisdom

Dear Families of Crown City Academy,

We are now officially at the halfway mark of the second term. Mid-terms are finished and we are on a short mid-term break. We will resume on February 23. Over the weekend there will be some birthdays happening. Meki on 21 February and the dad of Niko and Diego on 19 February. Let’s wish them a Happy Birthday. On Tuesday we will be welcoming Nayla back to school Tuesday. All the students and staff are happy about her return. They have been asking for her. During the time she was away, students made a Valentine’s Day card for her and the Gondwe’s were so gracious in delivering the card and adding some goodies. Thank you all for your support. We adore all of you.

By know everyone around Zanzibar knows about the passing of the Vice President of Zanzibar- Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad due to COVID-19. At school we have been blessed to have the Ghelardini’s donate a 5 liter jug of X Germs hand and surface disinfectant. We’ve been using this to spray surfaces such as desks, door knobs, and light switches, and in the toilets (faucets, handsprays, sink surfaces etc.) We spray morning time before school starts and while they are at lunch. Additionally, we do use masks, however, as you have noticed it is usually off during our outdoor activities. We have increased handwashing to include washing in between changing classes such as going from math to kiswahili where kids change location.

Additionally, we will postpone the Coffee with the Director until further notice.

Lastly, we would like to give a big thank you to parents that have been referring us to the community. There is more foot traffic with people visiting and some of those visits have come with confirmation of registration. We hope to see them start in the upcoming week.
