Great start to the morning!

What a blast! We surprised the school today by drumming and marching out
during morning assembly. A woman from our church volunteered to make a
banner, and then decided to order it instead. The printer donated it! We
were waiting until we could gather funds to buy these drums before we
presented the banner and drums together. The children were so surprised and
happy - and so were the teachers!! Schools here march and have marching
competitions. When we attended Children's Day last year, we started wishing
for a banner and some drums so our students could have the experience most
other Primary schools have of marching. They marched off to their class
after morning assembly, but a few minutes later the school recess bell rang
and all the children rushed out to the field. They learned how to line up
and march! We never knew how many children we have here until we saw them
in line one by one and wrapping the football field! Some of our teachers
were VERY enthusiastic. It's going to be fun for Aaron and Mr. Chukwuma to
teach some cadences over the next few weeks!
