Journée des écoles 2007
From the 19th to the 21st of March, the Chrysalis School took part in the Journée des écoles, a celebration for all the local schools. The day started with a march through the village, then some of the girls performed a dance routine in the talent show, as well as participating in a basketball game, and the boys played soccer against teams from other schools. We were proud of the way our students represented the Chrysalis School.

Champions of Knowledge
In June, the Chrysalis School sponsored a knowledge contest for students called Champions Days, an event intended to introduce the school to the community and attract more students for the next school year. Elimination rounds throughout the month led up to the main event on June 30, which included the final round of the knowledge contest, as well as student dance performances and professional entertainment.
Champions Days is open to all students from the Ivato area, and is intended to encourage a love of knowledge in the participants, and to showcase their artistic talents. In collaboration with FAWE (Forum des Educatrices Africaines – the Forum of African Educators), we also took advantage of this gathering of young people to educate the participants regarding AIDS, illegal drugs and the importance of education for girls.
