We have four classrooms and a science lab. Our lunch feeding program and solar-powered laptop computer lab are provided by Kenya Kids Can. You can also directly sponsor students at Longonot through The School Fund!

HOW JOVIOUS IS IT!

That day it turned to be our joy. Our teacher informed us about coming up with club projects which gave us morale because we knew the benefits of teamwork. Also we realized that she understands that we all come from different backgrounds.
This has made us to come up with projects like: beads making, art work and preparation of detergents among others that we are brainstorming of.
We hope that it will be successful so that we may benefit from it and try to eradicate poverty in our society and also sharpen our skills. We are longing to know more about projects that may benefit us though we don’t know about them. It’s wow for us students who are bright-minded students!

PREFECTS ELECTIONS IN OUR SCHOOL!

Prefects election is an activity that is held every third term each year. It is always a very competitive activity as every student is busy trying to convince the others he/she can lead.
The prefects elected form the prefects body which helps in day to day running of the school. The body is made up of 20 prefects each heading a given department. Some of the departments includes; games department, kitchen department .lab department among others. The body is headed by the head-boy with assistance of the head-girl.

Hey

This is Edwin I've never done a blog before and I read about your water management post. Its interesting to find out about how you guys get your water. How it goes through maintenance and that it is so important to you. I believe that we should come out with some measures to control the causes to save your water and people who use it.

Joel Polanco

Clean water is hard to find in Africa. How ever when water is found its too far from the village and its hard work trying to carry it back.I suggest we send engineers to help create a water system under ground to connect it to the villages.

Tanashia's response on water management

I think that it was very good to come up with a plan on how the water will be used. Its sad that all of you have limited water. I never thought that water would actually be a problem in other countries. Even though i have had history and global classes it hasn't really caught my attention. it seems like everything we have over here we take for granted.

Rudy Della Bloggin it Up

Hey My Name is Rudy and I Believe that water is very important to everyones health. Its sad that not everyone is able to have water and afford it. I hope all of you guys are drinking plenty of water and being health. Really drink water when its hot outside because it helps hydrate you.

much LOVE :)

Malik Johnston's response to Water Management

Basically without water we will not be able to survive. Because of not having a lot of resources for fresh water, I think that water management is the best thing to do.

Water Management

The importanceof water to our health is determined by our maintainance.many industries have affected water sources by releasing industrial wastes which has led to loss of livesof acquatic health.To cater this,we should come out with measures to control the causes to save the lives in acquatic fields and people who use this resource in domestic purposes.
