Go Big Or Gourd Home

On Tuesday night some of the Franconis boys came together and carved out a pumpkin for the Pumpkin Carving House Competition!

They did a great job!

This was an incredibly satifying moment to watch.

Our Final Product. A true spooky Halloween pumpkin.

Boarders Vs Day Students

Our boys took part in a basketball match between the boarders and day students of CDL.

It was a tight game, especially towards the end of the match

With a final score of 34 against 33, our boarder boys won the challenge.

Karim sweated until the last minute, helping his team to victory.

Biking Around.

This afternoon, Karim and I went for a lovely (but muddy) bike ride around the Versoix woods.

“Do I Smell Pancakes?!”

This morning, Karim and I had ourselves a lovely breakfast of pancakes, bacon and toast with cream cheese, alongside.

The Beginning

Stacks On Stacks

Omar “helped” a little too…the orange juice didn’t just pour itself after all.

Introducing Omar!

This is Omar, our House Representative! Omar loves cars, sandwichs with chocolate spread and drifting (and his three hour SAT prep class of course!)

His first night in Franconis! Look at that smile.

Working hard. Online shopping requires a lot of focus.
