HANDS FLAG |

Dear Mandy, I’m sorry it has taken me a while to send them out to you, but we have all been very busy here at the school. Testing has started at the school to try and find 180 new students for next year and with 2000 hopeful children showing up every week, it has been quite a challenge. Thank you very much for the flag you sent over for us and all your support for the School of St. Jude.
