We are beyond excited to share that our house has won the boarding photo competition! The theme, “Home at CDL,” challenged us to capture the essence of what makes this campus feel like our second home. Our goal was to highlight the places and moments that embody comfort, belonging, and a sense of family.

In our photo, we showcased the warmth and togetherness that define our life at Louis Yung. Winning this competition is a testament to the unique bond we share. It’s about more than just the image; it’s about the collective spirit, the friendships that feel like family, and the strong sense of belonging that turns our campus into a home

A huge thank you to everyone in our house who participated and contributed their creativity and enthusiasm. Your efforts have beautifully captured what “Home at CDL” means to us. Let’s continue to make every day memorable and uphold the wonderful spirit that led us to this victory.

Here’s to more moments of joy, unity, and success!

Lots of Love,

Welcome to our recap of last week’s May Fitness Challenge! Here’s a quick look at the fun and engaging activities we tackled:

Tuesday: Held a one-leg pose with a partner, testing balance and teamwork.

Wednesday: Catch and clap challenge, where we tossed a ball, clapped, and caught it again.

Thursday: Keepy-uppys with a football, juggling it as many times as possible without letting it touch the ground.

Friday: Jumping jacks challenge, counting how many we could do in 30 seconds.

Saturday: Timed squats with a twist—10 squats with a water bottle balanced on our heads.

Sunday: Finished the week strong with a 5K run, testing endurance and stamina.

Great job to everyone who participated! Get ready for another week of fun challenges. Stay fit and keep moving!

Day 3 of the May fitness challenge brought us face-to-face with a quirky yet engaging task: jumping over a pillow as many times as possible in one minute. Gabi, despite feeling full and possibly facing a less-than-ideal outcome, bravely took on the challenge.

Fast forward to Day 4, where the challenge morphed into an “around the world” affair. Zia, Martina, Melissa, Gabi, and myself eagerly took up the gauntlet, discovering that what seemed simple was, in fact, surprisingly challenging.

Tonight was awesome! We all got together in the boarding house kitchen to cook dinner. With our aprons on and utensils ready, we dove into cooking. There was laughter, chopping, and stirring as we shared stories and worked together. The kitchen buzzed with energy and the smell of delicious food.

Gathering around the table, we dug into the meal we made together. We shared jokes, exchanged stories, and maybe even gave some questionable advice, but it was all part of the fun. These spontaneous moments of connection are what make cooking together in the boarding house so special.

Today marks the second day of the May fitness challenge. The challenge du jour? None other than the invigorating Russian twists, testing not only strength but also agility and endurance. As the clock counted down, laughter and determination filled the room as the girls tackled the challenge of completing as many Russian twists as possible in sixty seconds. Amidst the fun, a competitive spirit emerged, driving them to push beyond their limits in friendly rivalry.

I’m excited to introduce our May Fitness Challenge organized by Ms. Perrine and Ms. Iola! This initiative aims to provide our students with a brief break from their studies and a chance to engage in some stress-relieving activities as they prepare for their upcoming exams.

The first challenge, the Water Flip Challenge, saw enthusiastic participation from the girls.

We’re eagerly looking forward to taking part in the upcoming challenges!

On Monday, Melissa marked her 18th birthday and spent it with her family. Today we commemorated the occasion with a cake. Her friends adorned her room and gifted her 18 presents, each accompanied by a heartfelt note symbolizing each year of her life. Melissa was visibly delighted and deeply moved by their gesture.

We wish her many more years filled with joy.

Lots of Love,

As their house parent, I’m immensely proud of our girls’ journey to second place in the boarding talent show. Their dedication, teamwork, and resilience were remarkable. Despite challenges, they embraced rehearsals with determination. On stage, their performance radiated talent and unity, captivating the audience.

While the judges may have awarded them second place, from my perspective, their achievement goes far beyond a ranking. It’s about the growth they’ve experienced and the memories they’ve created together. I’m honored to witness their development and look forward to supporting their future successes.

Lots of Love,

Aida & Yewande
