There were opening remarks from the principal, Tabitha Jones, and the Occasion was addressed by the Chancellor, Bishop Montgomery. Parents of the students shared how blessed they felt that they were able to send their children to a school where they would be safe, have the atention of a caring teacher and excel. At the conclusion of the assembly, students marched to their new classes where their formal studies began.
Students read, wrote, calculated and enjoyed the first day of their brand new school.
Sister Yeve G. Montgomery leads the intermediate classes in math, reading, language, science, spelling, handwriting and art. The daily schedule is fast-paced and intense. The children have made enormous progress academically since the first day of school. Some Intermediate students are learning 35 words a week for vocabulary and are excelling at science and math above standard grade levels. The primary children go through a vigorous pace as well.
