Special guests Jed and Perry Williamson of Sterling College, Vermont, visited us to review our risk management. They told us about their experiences in mountaineering and taught us about risk management. It was a privilege to get to know them and exchange our various stories and experiences involving various risk factors.
Triple birthday This week also held the first triple birthday in Island School history. Sally, Kristy and Jaime celebrated their 16th birthdays on March 10th. Louise's birthday followed on March 14th. School birthday On March 15th The Island School celebrated a one (first) year anniversary. Friends, guests and alumni attended the joyous occasion as they met the past, present and looked toward the future.
Scuba certification After four open water dives and a test, we are now scuba certified. The celebration dive was held on March 18th by diving off the wall. We are looking forward to many more dives in the future.
A lot of work! The workload caught up with us this week, and many late nights were spent working on papers, assignments, and studying for tests. At least we had a nice, sunny break on the stickball field on Saturday. An intense ball game was followed by a few quick dips in the water.
Computer Training The Island School computer training classes began on Sunday. Adults from the local area arrived to sharpen their PC skills. It is a great opportunity to learn more about the Bahamian culture from our Bahamian neighbors.
