A Prayer Room....

In November, one of our teachers came back from a conference very excited about a session she had gone to about establishing a prayer room in your school.
During a work day, several high school students worked on painting the room. One wall is painted with chalkboard paint so that prayer requests can be written on it.
 A map of the world was put on another wall for prayer requests around the world.

 A wall of thanksgiving was made also! We have much to be thankful for!

So thankful for a senior who really took this project on and over spring break designed this room. What a wonderful addition it is to our school! May prayer always be an important part of Sahel Academy.

So Begins Another School Year...

Here we go- year 49 of life, year 27 of teaching and year 4 at Sahel Academy and so begins another school year. Although I am a bit late in writing this blog as we have been in school for a few weeks now. It has been great to see our returning students and learn the names of our new ones. This year we have 154 students at Sahel Academy. I am just teaching one class this year- grade 6 Ancient History (my favourite!!)  This summer our new covered court arrived and was assembled. We are so thankful for all those who came to put our court together. The new elementary wing and elementary principal's office are beginning to take shape.

Please continue to pray for the safety of those working. Our most urgent need for staffing is for a facilities manger. Prayers are appreciated as we spread the word and wait on God's timin...

We're NUTS!!!

Image
On the second weekend in October, things get a little NUTS around here at Sahel Academy. It's time for the Niamey Universal Tournament of Softball (NUTS). This year there were 10 teams from Niamey competing in the tournament, 4 in a social league and 6 in a competitive one. Sahel Academy had 2 teams in the social league....the Blazing Suns in the top photo came in second place and the Raging Suns in the next photo finished first. While the temps were high here as our mini hot season has arrived, the juniors and seniors sold all kinds of goodies to keep the players and fans cool. It was a fun weekend! Happy thanksgiving to all my friends and family in the Great White North. I have to say that this is the season that I miss the most. May your day be blessed with delicious stuffing and sweet fellowship.
