Shhh… We are Reading ༄˖°.☕️.ೃ࿔📚*:・

We encourage our students to develop a love for reading by providing a carefully selected collection of books, short stories, and even French books. It was a truly enjoyable moment spent together, some students read in pairs, while others read aloud to the house parents. Seeing their enthusiasm and engagement made the experience even more special!

 

International Dinner – Greek Night!

Tonight, we enjoyed a delicious mix of flavors from Greece! We had chicken kebabs and souvlaki in fluffy pita, with plenty of Tzatziki and fresh veggies piled on top. For dessert, we savored a special Greek yogurt with raisins. Everyone enjoyed tonight’s meal, with some girls taking some extra pita for the road!

International meals here at CDL are made even more enjoyable by the country fact sheets that decorate the cafeteria. Below, you can read some interesting facts about Greece! Did you know that the Greek language is one of the oldest written languages still in use today? It is over 3,400 years old!

Warm Weather This Weekend 🌞

This past weekend at Terray was nothing short of incredible! With the sun shining and spirits high, we had plenty of achievements to celebrate,from impressive horse presentations and stunning artwork to horse riding sessions, Talent Show rehearsals, cooking adventures, and even some gardening skills. Our boarders never cease to amaze us with their enthusiasm and dedication!

Each weekend, our students have the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities, helping them explore their potential and nurture their passions. Beyond the busy schedule, we also took time to unwind with a trip to town,stocking up on essentials and enjoying a well-deserved day out off campus.

As always, we are so proud of our students for their curiosity, creativity, and commitment. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from Terray!

Pillar 4 – Healthy Bodies and Minds

We have officially started our fourth wellbeing pillar in Terray, Healthy Bodies and Minds!

For the first week of this pillar, we focused on nutrition, providing our students with a better understanding of calories and portion sizes, as well as how to make healthy food choices and the importance of staying hydrated.

Tonight’s video centered on portion sizes, water intake, and calorie needs for different age groups, teaching our students more about how to best care for their bodies. We look forward to exploring more of this very important pillar in the coming weeks, and learning more about how to nourish our bodies and minds!

 

Dinner at Home – Indonesia!

Tonight, we had another lovely dinner at home. We are treated to a dinner at home one Thursday per month, and each dinner has a different country for its theme. We had Indonesian food tonight, featuring Nasi Goreng, chicken skewers with sauce, and delicious coconut cakes for dessert! Dinner at home for Terray means a chance to connect with one another as a family. We are so thankful for these opportunities and always look forward to eating together in the house. Check out some yummy photos below!

 

More Weekend Fun!

We absolutely love our weekend activities here at Terray! This past weekend was particularly special, as several of our girls took part in a heartfelt activity to celebrate Women’s Day. In this creative and meaningful project, they used paint and their hands as stencils to craft beautiful collages honoring the women in their lives. Alongside this, we also enjoyed our regular weekend activities like cooking, horseback riding, tennis, and much more!
