We are so excited to report that the MICS computer lab opened for instruction today. The team of computer teachers had fifteen computers up and running for the occasion. With the fifteen computers up and running the classes can come all at one time and even the teachers can have a computer to learn on with their class.

MICS has two new computer teachers this year. Beverly Chisanza and Justin Milolandu completed the computer course offered at LITA last year and thus qualified to be a computer teacher in training at MICS. We are very happy to have them working with the students. LITA is the adult computer school that Jon Backens helped to start and Nic Novelly taught at last year. Both guys are from Virginia(-: Their program really helped MICS as we found it difficult to find teachers that had computer training. We are blessed to have them and thankful for their help as the students have their daily computer lessons.

The first graders took a short field trip to visit the NINE kittens born in the MICS house a few weeks ago. Our two mother cats had kittens within 24 hours of each other. They are all one big happy family. They do know which kittens belong to what mother ...... but they share the responsibility and feeding times.
The first graders enjoyed holding and playing with the little kittens. They were afraid at first as the children are not used to house pets. They tend to treat animals in a rough and tuff manor so it is good for the children to learn how to care for a pet and be kind and gentle. They check on them often and look for changes in them.
They told me they are not afraid anymore(-: Yes...... they all want one to take home!
