This was our fifth "sports day" at Rosslyn Academy since we moved to Kenya in 2006. Each year the elementary and middle school students are divided into three teams (Green, Red and White) and compete in various track and field and pool events.

Rosslyn Football Finals!

Football Championship Game

On Thursday afternoon, the Rosslyn Elementary School's intramural football club finished its season with a final championship match between Coach Christa Gitonga's Blues and Coach Paul Carline's Reds. It was a nail biter with the both teams coming into the finals with a strong season record.

Emma with her game-face on!

Emma has been having a lot of fun in the Monday after school football club, along with swim team, the fall drama and Girl Guides, she is usually at school everyday until 5:30 pm. With the close of the football club, we're looking forward to at least having Monday as a "short day".

We are so thankful for the Rosslyn Community and for the friendships, support, and structure it provides our children. Each day as we drop our kids off and head out to join our ministry partners it is such a gift knowing that our children spend their day in a safe and loving environment.


Red Surges Ahead!
As parents, teachers and the elementary student body cheered on both sides, in the end Red pushed ahead with a final goal winning the championship (with I believe an undefeated record). Emma and her blue team mates lined up and congratulated their friends on the Red squad with high fives and hand shakes. Way to go Red!

Rosslyn Swim Meet

A Nail Biting Competition
Emma competed this weekend at a Rosslyn Academy Invitational Swimming Tournament against schools from across the city. On Saturday morning, she swam the 50 m freestyle and 50 m backstroke races. She had a lot of fun cheering on her team mates and meeting fellow swimmers from other schools.

Emma finished a very close second in her freestyle race.

Way to Go Emma!
