There is a house system in place at ABCCA. When you register with the school you are automatically put into one of three houses: Liwonde, Nyika, or Majete. These are representative of three of the nature reserve parks in Malawi. All members of a family are in the same house. Throughout the year there are different ways to earn "points" for your house. Think of it like the houses in the Harry Potter movies. Anyway, at the end of this term we had a House Swim Gala where people from each house competed in a swim meet with people from the other houses. It took up an entire school day and the kids were allowed to wear their house colors that day! What a fun day! Here are some pictures:
My sweet class on Swim Gala day dressed in their house colors.
Now I told them to act like they were fighting each other! They had fun with this!!
AJ and her good friend Brianna (also an ABC MK)
Me with Grandma Iris and Scharlie....Liwonde teachers (and ABC Missionaries).
In case you haven't figure it out yet...we are in Liwonde. We pretty much loose everything each year. The houses are not quite as even as they should be. But we have fun!
Majete...the biggest house. Although they didn't win the Swim Gala. That was reserved for....
Nyika! Good job Nyika!
Mr. McDonald, Mr. Kyser, and Mr. Bartlett all watching their daughters swim in the gala. Yeah, they're a real serious bunch! If only you knew the humor that these three men can muster up!
AJ swimming back (her favorite stroke). She is in the blue cap second from the top.
Great job AJ!
AJ swimming Free...she really did NOT want to do this relay. But she made it and did well!
AJ with some of her good friends: Martina, Charlotte, and Brianna!
What an exhausting day...but fun at the same time!
