CAM events: CAM Picnic, Musical and Graduation 2011

18 June, 2011

It has been so busy these last few weeks we haven’t gotten our blog updated. I wrote some news right after the CAM picnic, but we just didn’t have enough time to get the photos attached and up. So we will add to the update that we already have.




CAM Graduates 2011

 May 30th was the graduation ceremony for our seven grads. It was lovely to celebrate with the seniors and hear them share about their time at CAM and what they were hoping for the future. Each grad had a special part in the program and some of the parents and teachers had a part. It is hard to believe that we won’t see them at school next year.

 

CAM Graduation Dinner



The graduation dinner was held on Wednesday, June 1st, Larry’s birthday. We celebrated with the grads and their families. It was a time to reminisce and rejoice.



Bathroom block under construction

A big praise is that we got our building permit! Construction is well on the way now for the bathroom block. It looks great. The play field has been leveled and now we are waiting for the electrical to be put in before the drop ceilings can be installed. The biggest concern is to find affordable and safe busses to transport the students from town to the new school site.

At CAM we have chapel every Friday. It is a time to sing, pray and hear how the Lord is working in the lives of different people. Sometimes the different classes take charge of the chapel programs. This past Friday the 4th – 6th grade choir presented a musical called “Camp Wallaballa.” It is about a group of kids on their way to a camp and their bus breaks down and they have to wait for someone to come and fix the bus. In the meantime, they sing all these great songs about not being afraid because God is with them and they share all these great promises from the Bible and sing about standing on God’s promises. It was beautiful. I invited the parents to come and see their performance and there were tears in their eyes as well as in mine. The kids did such a great job.

 

BBQs smelled so good



CAM Picnic...lots of food



The annual CAM picnic was May 21st. We have always had it at the Boa Nova property. This year is was at the same place, but now it is more significant because it is our new school site. We set up six BBQs and several tables for the extra food to share. We ended up with almost 140 people – a record crowd. After lunch the kids played games for prizes and we gave tours to the parents of the new site. It is so great to see all the new families. We sense their support and encouragement as we are in the middle of this incredible project.
