Congratulations PSE Top Scorers

Alexia Perez, Ismael Kay and Emily Gomez

PSE (Primary School Examinations) is often considered the dreaded final test of a young Belizean student's primary school education. For two years, students are prepped and drilled in Creative Writing, Social Studies, English, Math and Science. The PSE is sat in two parts, and students are better able to prepare.


This year, the results show marked improvement over what many have complained is too hard an exam. Students obtained higher grades, and the entire community is proud of such hard working, exemplary children for showing that it CAN be done!


Kudos!

Going Green!

Tacogirl (http://www.tacogirlblog.blogspot.com/) has managed to rally up quite a bit of enthusiasm for her "Going Green/Recycling" project. Students from Isla Bonita Elementary School and Holy Cross were at the park for a rousing rally, armed with posters and flyers extolling the virtues of recycling and encouraging green ideas.
It's a great project, and with tacogirl's enthusiasm and the public's encouragement of the children will bring about a good change for our little island!

After the rally in the park, these kids and their teachers were still quite enthusiastic!

The Tacos! Good job guys! "RECYCLE!!"

RC School Open Day

HIV, Global Warming, Protected Areas, Nutrition, Planets, Cultures and Public Services were topics researched and presented by the San Pedro R.C. School for today’s Open Day. Many projects were presented, and it is always amazing to see the work that children come up with, using only a few items, lots of imagination and some elbow grease! Good job kids!

The San Pedro Business Association, SP Lions Club and The Reef Radio have joined forces with a radiothon for both Wednesday and Thursday to gather help for those affected by Tropical Storm Arthur. Clothing, food items, and monetary donations are being collected at The Lions Den. Items will be packed and delivered for distribution in the areas where help is most needed.

If you miss the radiothon today, you can still deliver tomorrow! If you miss tomorrow, you can call 226-4054 to find out how you can help. Please give generously!

Arthur is now considered the worst natural disaster in recent times in Belize, with 5 confirmed deaths, and hundreds left homeless. People need all the help they can get. Remember, today it's THEM, tomorrow it could be YOU!

Happy Birthday Boss!!

As always, we wish Mr. Ron Sniffin a very happy birthday. The Sniffin family also wishes his twin Don a happy birthday! We're sure you'll both have a great day! :)
