So the history made was for everyone in St. Louis, when the
Blues won game 6 to advance to their first Stanley Cup Final since 1970 (yes
most of you know this already). Only Mr. Ott was alive last time the Blues were
in the Cup Finals. We set ourselves up with Mr. Hairsine a 2007 CBC graduate to
watch the game at the school and had pizza while we enjoyed the epic victory.
In between periods the boys played basketball. We also celebrated one of our
boy’s birthdays on Tuesday, but in keeping with not using specific names of the
kids I won’t say who. His initials are MC if you needed a hint.
The boys continued their hard work in the classrooms. It is
remarkable the amount of energy they bring with them each day. Each day they
seemed just wiped out at the end and they re-energize so quickly. The 4th
grade immersion students have continued working on the Super Hero project and
will serve as Super Villains on Wednesday out at the Mission. The final touches
were put on their Super Villain personas. The 7th grade boys are
working on a Twilight Zone video project and the immersion students are helping
with the filming and editing of the video project.
The love of basketball is alive and well and our boys
continued to get schooled in Knock Out. The 8th grade boys’
basketball team had a tremendous season and many of them are getting ready to
travel for tournaments. In that aspect they are not any different from our kids
who play competitive club sports.
These immersion students are hard workers and generally jump
on any task to get it done quickly. We don’t have to ask much and never have to
ask twice (except to wake up in the morning). They have jumped on all the
chores and tasks required of living in community and have been very helpful
with some of the manual labor chores asked of them at the school.
We are nearing the halfway point of the trip. I am intrigued
to see if their energy level wanes or if they have the fortitude to keep up the
grind. Until Wednesday’s Update, have a great day.
