The Definition of patriot

You know you are a patriot when, you are not into sports, but while watching the Benna Boys game against USA, you are moved to tears when you hear the National Anthem of Antigua & Barbuda . Then end up watching the game and kinda learn the game on the spot. 

Go Benna Boys.

For All the Mothers

I trust that all my lovely mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. Remember that you are blessed to be called Mother. You have been honoured by God to bring forth His children and to care for them until they can care for themselves. You are loved and appreciated for all you do. May God continue to bless you abundantly.

Last Day

Today is the final leg of our training people. I pray that we will be refreshed and energized as we go back to our various schools to impart and implement the knowledge!

Your information like your email address and other personal information that you use to register online can be viewed by others. Be careful where you go, what you do and what informaiton you share.

It provides a more exciting way for children to learn, although it may require more planning and research on the teacher's part. The positive outcomes however far outweigh the challenges.
