Ms. Caramel's Class

Highlights:

1. Easter Parade - a wonderful display of creativity by our children. Each child made his/her own hat out of recycled materials for the easter parade this year. This resulted in some beautiful, original even way out creations and a lot of diversity in the competition. Congratulations to ALL the children..you worked hard and you were ALL winners!

2.  End of Term Exhibitions - Our Christmas, Easter and July exhibitions were lovely as always. I was glad to see more of a parental turn out at the July exhibition and I hope that more parents will take the time to visit us and see the beautiful work the children are doing. We are having this year's exhibition over 2 days at the end of term Dec 8th and 9th. Please make the time to come in and visit us..you won't be disappointed.

3.  Ishaka Maharaj wins second place in Penal/Debe Regional Corporatin Colouring Contest. Congratulations Ishaka on placing second in the Penal/Debe Regional Corporation colouring competition with the theme "Dengue Prevention". Congratulations also to our our entrants.

4. Mrs. Sanowar &  Mr. & Mrs. Mouffet retire - the school has lost three wonderful teachers. We wish to thank Mrs. Sanowar and the Mouffets for their tireless dedication to our school and for their wisdom and encouragement.  We know that all they have imparted will live on in the teachers and students and are confident that the firm foundation they have laid will take the school on to greater things. We wish them all the best in their new adventures.

5. Eco News -Two new cedar trees donated by Bunty O'Connor are planted in our playround. The trees are thriving and we can proudly say that soon we will truly have a "Cedar Grove" as they keep our one original cedar tree company. These trees were dedicated to Mrs. Sanowar and the Moffets on their retirement. May they grow strong and continue to reach for the sky!

 We wish to thank Mrs. O'Connor for her generosity. Mrs. O'Connor is an artist and is involved in many worthy programs in Trinidad & Tobago. One of her missions in life is to encourage tree planting  and she works with school children in particular.  She has planted numerous trees in and around Trinidad and Tobago..most notibly her work with the Wild Fowl Trust.  Please visit her website here to see some of her beautiful work: http://web.me.com/oconnorailis/Ajoupa_Pottery/About_Ajoupa_Pottery.html

 Please continue to plant trees where ever you can..the environment needs them!

6. Cedar Grove enters World Gender Drawing Competition. We submitted many entries to this competition, and though we did not win the children learnt a lot about gender equality and were very active participants.
