Reading At Last

It's taken some time, but I believe we have the plan in place for the students at St. Theresia to be happily reading novels for the foreseeable future. Thanks to the efforts of Denise and our friends in Berkely, California, the students have stories which they have begun reading with enthusiasm. They are so thankful for these resources.
The headmaster and staff are going to see to it that the withdrawal and return systems are used to ensure the longevity of the books and widespread usage among the students.
I want to convey my heartfelt thanks to our friends in Timmins, Ontario for the books and sports equipment you have provided as well. The Games' Days have a considerably larger number of participants which is contributing to the lives of the students in so many ways beyond the natural benefits of physical activity. They are enjoying the access to games they haven't been able to play regularly before.
I am confident that the rest of the books will arrive soon, and the students will have an even greater variety of reading materials from which to choose. The textbooks have been an invaluable contribution, and now the students will be able to share texts between pairs of them. This is a great improvement which increases opportunities for learning and achievement.
Asanteni sana wote. Thank you so much to everyone. Words cannot adequately convey how much your efforts have meant to the staff, students, and school as a whole. They are deeply appreciative of everything you've done. There is much hope in the potential for success now and for the future.
