eighth graders tied for fifth place in
the nation in the year-end cumulative standings among 168 school teams participating
at this grade level and in this division.
One of the school’s students won
highest honors for year-long individual achievement as well: Sixth grader Isabel Rose earned perfect
scores in all three of the year’s meets for her grade level, and was one of
only eleven sixth graders in the entire country to do so.
Students who achieved outstanding
results in the year’s final meet included Isabel Rose and Daniel Le Breton
(both of who earned perfect scores), Patrick Ryan, Evan Wolf, J. P. Dongo, Kristen
Lethbridge, Lois vanderMinnen, Corrine Cella, Isabel Lane, Alexis Raskin, Kate

 Middle School 101 How to prepare your child for 6th grade
 THE WELL HAS BEEN BUILT!Roots and Shoots is proud to announce the well project in Damana, Mali is complete. The kids worked very hard in the 2008/09 school year to raise enough money. In the photo, you can also see the schoolhouse funded by CMS in 2005. Thanks to this year's talent show, we raised enough money to provide solar power to light the schoolhouse at night for students and adults to study after their work is done. Next step - solar power for the well pump.
OUR FIRST BOOK ARRIVED IN UGANDA
 Many of our students this year are participating in the Books of Hope project, creating academic textbooks for children in northern Uganda, like Innocent. Innocent spoke to our students in March about overcoming being a child soldier to attend university and pursue his dreams. Our "sample book" recently arrived at the Latigi Orphan Care Center, and the children there are excited to receive the rest of the books this summer. View our Video of Field Day 2009
