Monthly Report September/October

Written by Teacher Margaret

Jambo Happy Day family We at happy day are doing well and we hope you all are doing fine. 

We have come to the second month of third term 2018 and we are very grateful for your continued support. 

This month our school scouts are supposed to go for a camp at the Nairobi show ground during the Nairobi agricultural show. Unfortunately this is impossible since the school has no money and the parents can't afford to pay for their kids. However, we are glad that the scouts teacher will go to represent us at her own cost. When she comes back she will be refreshed and she will teach new ideas from the camp. The Nairobi agricultural show is an exhibition of how food is grown, harvested and stored. It is also an exhibition of how other items are made. There is also fun sports for kids and much more. 

This month will see our pre unit class graduate to grade 1. The ceremony will be held at the Jehovah jire secondary school ground ( where we had the party and the bouncing castle when the principal and mama Erica were in Kenya) This is also the shortest academic term in Kenya and so schools are closing mid next month and that's why we have the graduations this month

The area ECD schools met last week and we are happy to be members of the group. This enables us to know what is happening around and to interact with our neighbouring schools. We are planning on doing interschool exams at the end of the term

There has been an increase in almost all the items in Kenya due to the increase in vat taxes

Our sept/Oct budget is as follows
