A Quick Look
While the snow swirls around outside, perhaps it is time to reflect on what has taken place so far this semester at Laurelbrook. We lost a couple of students this semester due to health problems, and two more at least are on academic probation, but the academy has retained the majority of its students for the first time in years - a great accomplishment.
Moves are being made to contain heating costs. A different (and bigger) furnace at the greenhouses will have the capacity to heat the elementary school and the apartments above it. Also there will be one (maybe two) wood furnaces installed near the nursing home so that facility will be heated by wood, too. This will save tremendously on the gas bills.
On the school web site, I decided to try something new. On dropbox.com, I put the audio files from Alistair Huong's meetings last weekend and linked them to the news folder on the school website. Already the boys' dorm has been able to let boys who missed the meetings due to vocational training listen and gain from Alistair's presentations. In the past few weeks, I digitalized the cassette contain E. A. Sutherland's 1946 Loma Linda talk. With all these running, it will be interesting to see how many people actually listen to them.
I have to go take pictures of classes since I'm inside due to the snow (my truck doesn't operate well in this white stuff).
