On March 6th, our kids who attend school outside of the center at Rising Academy participated in their annual Sports Day at school. Sports Day is held each year as part of their school’s extracurricular activities. Our kids are excited about this special day every year. This is a special day to compete, cheer on their classmates, and have fun. It teaches them teamwork, perseverance, hard work, and sportsmanship. The kids wear matching shirts that distinguish their teams, and those who compete love competing against their classmates. Our kids were treated to some special fans as our March team was on the ground and able to attend Sports Day.
This year, the event was held at the SS CAMP fields located at Hill Station. Not all of the kids compete, but if their teachers think they will be good at a particular event, then they participate in that event. The rest of the kids cheer on their classmates while they compete. We had kids competing and cheering. They participated in events like the 100 and 200-meter sprints, 4-by-100-meter relay, musical chairs, tug-of-peace, a sack race, and longer distance races. It was a full day of fun that lasted until eight in the evening!
Josephine won 1st place in the “Neat for School Category.” This means she arrives at school each day dressed neatly in her school uniform with her backpack and supplies in good order. Congratulations, Josephine!
We are so grateful our kids have the opportunity to experience fun days like this. They work incredibly hard in school. Exams are coming soon, and the kids will be busy studying in preparation. This event allowed them to escape the regular school day and have fun competing and cheering on their friends.
Thank you for your continued encouragement and support. We are thankful for the many ways you show up to cheer on our kids all through the year.
Many blessings,
The Raining Season
