Back to school

Please, No child should begin the new academic session looking scruffy and in bad mood.
Help a friend and help a neighbour if you have to.

• It's a week for some schools and few days for others to resume. Hair, nails, shoes, bags, mental state, sleep, rest etc; with good planning, we can get the children and ourselves prepared and organized. If you haven't started already, please start now.

• Trim those finger nails, they look bad and can hurt other children.

• No undersized or oversized uniforms.
  This encourages bullying. Let that boy/girl look very smart and sharp.

• Get the bigger kids to iron their stuff themselves. We are raising independent kids.

• For new uniforms, please wash before wearespecially with news of cancer-causing dyes/chemicals used on them.

• Hair cut and hair style should be according to school standards, don't help your child break the rules. That’ll be raising the monsters in them.
  Plaits and braids, not too tight but neat so as not to interfere with their daily activities like work and play.

• Clean socks and shoes.
  Do you have new ones?
  You can be a blessing to someone else if the old is still in good condition.

• By now, the kids should be going to bed earlier so they don't struggle when they start school next week or the week after.
  Watching of cartoons and/or any other programs should be controlled by now.

• Did you travel and haven't returned?
  please do so as soon as possible to help child/children settle in and get prepared properly.

• Start the routine now.
  They will otherwise be tired, look tired, be cranky in class, moody with others etc.

• Most importantly, get those things that will make them settle down well for them.
  Books, bags, food flasks, crayons, drawing books etc

The children God has given us are for signs and Wonders. This session they shall make us proud and be a blessing to us and people around them.

Thanks for your time.
It’s been a while I’m here.
Hope you’re enjoying yourselves?
God bless you and your family.
Shalom!
