Tuesday was another busy day at Holy Cross School. Several people have been working in the classrooms, with (among others) Mr. Bob teaching geometry, Holly working in the Special Ed class, Roxane and Gareth helping children perfect their letters in their workbooks, and Father Joe clowning for the children (who give as good as they get). Others were out working in the mud and muck again, continuing to sink piles to support the new library (18 down and 27 to go). Every time a pile reaches bedrock, the muck marauders let out a cheer or grunt as if a successful hunt had been concluded. Mark is handy with the chain saw and is finishing off the piles after they are sunk to the bedrock so they will be ready to receive the floor joists. Gretchen is repairing furniture and Randy is painting all the places the kids can't reach. Elections in Belize are on Thursday (and I guess several elections are concluding in the US today) so the kids will be off school; and perhaps Friday as well, since many people are registered to vote off the island and probably won't get back until the weekend. Not exactly sure what the 2 main political parties, the PUP and UDP stand for, but it seems to be taken very seriously. More tomorrow ...
