Math/Science Day

The focus of this week was Maths/Science Day on Friday, June 22^nd.  The theme was:  “Apply & Improve Today to Invent the World of Tomorrow.”  Ron was blessed to give the opening remarks and he highlighted current amazing inventions.  He got to officially declare Math & Science Day now open.  Elder Rees & Sister Obley judged the Math projects and President Fafai & Sister Rees judged the Science projects.  Additionally, all of us had experiments to judge.  The final house winner was selected based on accumulated points per each “House” (four in all).  The event started at 8:00 a.m. and concluded around 2:30 p.m.  The projects consumed a lot of preparation time in the previous two weeks and teachers were very dedicated in assisting students.  Enjoy a look at the day----

During the Maths/Science Day, Ron captured a picture of the double rainbow.  (By the way, Maths is a correct term in the southern hemisphere.)

Ron has enjoyed growing starter plants to share with staff or even communities that have had an interest.  He is winding down his garden endeavor.

Most have been given away.

While you are enjoying summer, we are going into fall.  It has been hot (upper 80's) and dry.  Direct sun rays really pronounce the heat.  We are blessed to live in an air-conditioned home and work in an air-conditioned office!
