A Day at the Races!

St Simons Christian School had its first Cross Country Meet today at the Sea Island Stables. Fortunately, it was overcast because our first race didn't start til after 11. Our team was 4th out of 4 overall; but one of our guys actually won the race for the middle school boys! Not bad for one week of training.









Alex won for the boys.

I single handedly replaced the carpet in Sarah's room!

scraps.
The tools of the trade:

okay, Karl cut one side of it, I had a little help, but not bad huh?

. . .and a school was re-born!

Just 20 days after finally signing the lease (It was hoped to be signed last May, but there were delays), this building is ready for school. Walls were erected, bathrooms made, counter tops removed, tiles placed, portables moved, stairs and ramps built, and of course, school contents moved. Parent volunteers are tired but excited. My husband has never worked so hard both physically and professionally for such long hours into the night for so many weeks ever in his life. Surely there are projects still needing completion but they are comparatively small. School has begun without hitch and things will get done in time.

















They are putting dirt on top of the parking lot to make a field for PE etc. They are even putting an irrigation system in it.
