Pushing Back The Frontier Of Ignorance

I previously mentioned that work last week was a little different. That's because PCS has this weird thing now called miniterm. It's where the students are required to take one or two short classes about interesting and creative topics. The classes only scratch the surface of what they are about, but it's a great opportunity to have fun, learn something new and think about learning more. Mr. Walker commands an army reserve band (I think that's what you call it) and so he's showing videos and taking field trips to expose students to military life.
Mr. Moser heads up the A/V tech crew so those guys are setting up a bunch of new equipment. We have alot of do-it-yourself talent at school between the IT guys and the A/V guys. So Ryan, who has been a HUGE help to me during break THIS week (we're getting there, be patient) is soldering connections for a custom bundle of cables. Soldering is one of the cool things I've picked up and get to do alot of today actually.

There's also baking, sewing, carpentry, art, sign language. Alot of classes are off-site. Mr. Fay's aviation class is off-site. Speaking of Mr. Fay...

And speaking of funny signs. The elementary is doing a bunch of Dr. Seuss stuff this year. I get a kick out of this bathroom sign every time.

The new site for Bethany Baptist Church is coming along nicely. It's been way t0o long since I've checked it out, because I was blown away with the progress.


Wednesday was the day our Sunday School class had been given to offer the construction workers an on-site snack and coffee break. Various groups at church do snacks and lunches as a ministry to the workers. Some how Ryan snagged a bunch of goodies from McDonald's. After brunch, Pastor Lyall gave the special access tour. Pretty sweet to walk the halls and see the rooms already! The pastors have already called dibs on their offices :-)
