School Pictures & Mini-Interviews

The Academy had picture day a few Tuesdays ago.  Everyone met on the dock for a group photo with the landrovers followed by class photos in front of the ship.  Then the students went class by class to the Bridge to have their individual shots taken.  Before the day was over the photographers had the pictures available to us...what service!  Well done, Michelle & Deb!!

The Mercy Ships Academy Family

Grade 2 
the most amusing thing to me about these 2 pictures is that it's hard to tell which is the "serious" picture and which is the silly picture...that probably gives you some great insight into what Miss Moriah's days are like.

The teachers
They are doing the classic "jump shot."  (I'm quite impressed with Miss Miriam, the French teacher - third from the right - she's got ups.)

One more shot of the entire Academy

We can't say enough how much we love and enjoy the Mercy Ships' Academy.  We are so thankful for the teachers who love and serve and teach...so grateful for the organization and vision of the administration...so thankful for those who give to make the Academy possible.

Surely there will be more to come!
