We've reached the mid-point in JBFC's school year. Our students at
Joseph & Mary have been hard at work trying to maintain our reputation for having 100% of our students passing the Tanzania national exam - a title we've held for two years in a row.

To encourage and inspire, Joseph & Mary's Headmaster, Samo Matiko, with a little help from some JBFC volunteers from the US, honored the top three students in each class with mid-year awards. In a school of nearly 300 primary and secondary students, quite a few JBFC kids earned high marks.
And the winners are....
JBFC Girls rule 3rd Grade! All three top spots went to JBFC's residential girls.
We have high hopes for these young ladies.
Zai, 1st Place
Rachel, 2nd Place
Salome, 3rd place
4th grade: Laurencia, 1st place
Lau not only won first in her class, but also aced her mock national exam, placing first.
5th grade: Danny, 3rd place
The JBFC boys are also showing off their big brains.
6th grade: Leticia, 2nd place
Imelda, 3rd Place
Congratulations to all of our star students!
