We are very proud of our nine graduates for 2012. Since Ocean Academy opened in 2008, these students have grown with the school and helped to shape it. Now, five are headed to Muffles Junior College, one to a school in California, one has a job with Caye Caulker Belize Tourism Industry Association, and one has a job with the Caye Caulker Traffic Control Office. Congratulations Valedictorian Mercedes Requena, Saludatorian Lilly Aldana, Vote of Thanks Elizabeth Requena, Arturo Allen, Clifton Burgess, David Estrada, Estrella Jimenez, Ramon Pantin and Ramir Villanueva.
June 13, 2012 was a bonus giving day and we would like to thank you all for your generous support.
21 donors gave $2435 to Ocean Academy on June 13th. An additional $220 was donated from GlobalGiving's matching funds. Thank you. We learned two things from this fund-raising experience:
1) It is truly amazing what we can do in just one day by all working together!
2) Donating very early (actually - very late since the fundraiser starts just after midnight) is crucial in order to maximize the matching funds. You can see the full results at the link below.
