Hello Class: This morning Mr. Janes and I had the privilege of visiting Mt. Etjo Private School. We were able to upload your video onto their newly donated monitor with success. The kids LOVED your message and enjoyed seeing all your enthusiasm. I was able to point out on a map where Tulare, California was and discuss how long it took to arrive here. I told them a little bit about Tulare. They asked me questions about how many schools we had in Tulare, how many kids go to our schools, what a School Board Member does, what the weather was like, how many children I had, etc. I took their picture (above) and was able to also get a video of them enthusiastically sending you back a message. We ended by passing out a t-shirt to each child, which they greatly appreciated and I think we had just about enough correct sizes for all-with some left over. They also loved the variety of books we were able to send to them. The picture on the bottom right was of their school as we were approaching. The vehicle on the bottom left is their school bus! The kids left for home right after we handed out the T-shirts (they only have school for 1/2 day). Notice several kids have already put their t-shirts on! Overall, the teachers were very pleased with the visit and commented it was so good for the kids to have someone visit from another country and give them a fresh view of another culture. They are very limited in their area and classroom. At this point they do not have internet.
The global outreach was a success! Thank you for being part of it.
The Grand Finale: We found the lions! Oh, oh!
Stay tuned for more.......
