This week has been one of extreme excitement for all at the H.E.R.O. house in Port-au-Prince. School has begun! After waiting an extra month for the Ministry of Education to open schools and a H.E.R.O. school selection process that weeded out more than 10 other schools, we are proud to enroll Robenson, Franky, Dayanna, and Valencia into IMHEAD elementary school!
An additional bonus for our children is that a teacher from the school will also serve as the afternoon tutor! A month before school began we conducted numerous interviews to find a tutor that worked well with our kids, one that provided a good education, was kind, but also strict. As a result of a wonderful month of instruction provided by Ms. Andre, she will continue throughout the school year.
The school is near enough to our compound that the children will be able to walk to school. They will arrive at 8:00 and complete a full day until 1:00. At that point Ms. Andre will walk the children back home, have lunch with them, and then begin homework, enrichment, and remediation lessons from 1:30-5:00. Therefore our children will receive a full day of instruction during the week.
Franky will begin in 1st grade, Dayanna in 2nd grade, and Robenson and Valencia in 3rd grade. We are excited that Ms. Andre is also the 3rd grade teacher at the school! We are fortunate to have found Ms. Andre as well as a quality school for the kids. We look forward to a wonderful school year and a giant leap forward in the academic knowledge of our children!
Sincerely,
