Mordi Miss Graduation!
June 4, 2011
Congratulations to Mordicayo Miss! He graduated from Toledo Community College High School today. He had such a nice party with rice and beans, chicken, pork caldo, pooch, coffee, juice, or cacao. This year there is only one high schooler graduating in the village that is a big difference than last year (last year I went to about 8 high school graduation parties!)

Picture Day
June 3, 2011
Today I took school photos all afternoon, which included individual student photos, class photos, and teacher photos like I did last year. I will print them out when I go home for my birthday and bring them back for the students and teachers. This year I added family photos. However, only one family showed up. I was disappointed with the lack of participation. Something that will only benefit them… having a free family photo.

Festival of Arts/ Dance Performance
Wednesday June 1, 2011
Today was the Festival of Arts. This year it was not done as well. Last year it was much bigger success. For example, this year Toledo district was told too late; therefore, they did not have the stage performance competition. This year each school could send in one performance just for entertainment during the judging of the arts and crafts. The GLOW girls did their dance… I was proud of them. We got lots of compliments that it was a beautiful dance!

GLOW girls dress rehearsal
Tuesday May 31, 2011
Today I went to Cuxtal training in the morning, and then went to school in the afternoon. Mr. Garicia my principal wanted me to do the register (tally the attendance for the end of the month) and to also have the GLOW girls practice their dance in front of the whole school. The girls did well. I just wish they would smile when they dance!!!

GLOW applications due!
Monday May 30, 2011
Today the GLOW girls applications were due. The girls have to apply to go to camp. What the application entails is two essays and one recommendation letter. This year I only have 4 girls that have not been to camp… so I am hoping all 4 girls can go.
