Additional views of Hillcrest School

If you stand in front of the computer building and look across the playground, you see my office. It is housed in the music building pictured behind the play equipment in the photo. That building is the oldest building on the compound. It was the original school at Hillcrest.


If you go out my office door and turn left you will see the library building. It is across the outdoor basketball court next to my office. It is on the High School side of the compound. Attached to this building is the High School Principal's office, High School staff room and on the right side of the photo is a High School/Middle School student area (for study, eating, visiting).



When standing in front of my office, Grade 1-3 are in a building immediately to the right. The building shown is that building. The former principal had this mural painted on the end of the building, by a missionary who is an artist.



On the other end of the building that houses Grades 1-3 is the chapel. The inside of the chapel is shown as it looked when getting ready for Baccalaureate this last year. I was standing about half way back to take the photo.



We do not have a cafeteria on the compound at school. But we do have Ladi (the potato lady) and Garba (the suya man). Many children buy these two foods for lunch during the week. The potatoes are fried. Suya is beef on a stick with special seasonings.

This is the Computer Building. If you go through the archway and come out the other side you will be facing the Middle School Building. To the left of the archway are two rooms. It is a mirror image of the side you see on the photo. The first room is the Elementary School computer lab. The far end room is the Kindergarten Room.

This is the Middle High School Building at Hillcrest. This building also houses the Business office (upstairs), the Art room (for all schools), an AV room, a large room we use for meetings (such as PTA and Middle School assemblies), and the Main Office. It is a separate building from High School and Elementary School. When our granddaughter was with us, this is the school she attended.

Our Family

We were able to spend the 4th of July with our family in Seattle, Washington. We were home for our annual vacation. We are pictured here on the steps of our son's house.

From back to front and left to right:

Heather (our daughter) and her husband Rick, then Larry.

Cory (our older grandson) and Samuel (our younger one) then Linda

Becca (the granddaughter who spent last semester with us in Nigeria),

Erin (our daughter-in-law) holding Merideth and then our son, Marc.

Here We Go

This is our first attempt at a BLOG. Our daughter-in-law has kept one updated throughout this last year and we have so enjoyed the current photos of our grandkids and other family and events. So, we thought we would like to try this for all of you who have been included in our newsletters list over the years. It will help us share more of what we are doing in a "newer" form. Hopefully you will enjoy our attempts. But be patient with us as we continue to learn what we are doing.
