The school year here at the Triumphant Mercy Zahle Community Center has gotten off to a fantastic start! There have been a lot of new and exciting changes that have come with the start of a new school year. During the summer break, we had to say goodbye to our founder and fearless leader of the past 10 years??, Ansa Christine. This was a shock to many as she decided to step down and pursue new endeavors. It was difficult to see her go as Ansa Christine had built the school from the ground up and has been with us through every change, challenge, and success. We owe so much to her years of service to the school. Despite the sad goodbye, the teachers were also excited and willing to embrace new leadership and move forward with the school. 

Smiles, laughter, and genuine excitement have echoed through the school these first few weeks. The teachers and students alike have all expressed how much they like the new look of the school. We gave the school a fresh coat of paint as well as cleaned and organized a lot!!!  At the start of the year, there has been a great sense of teamwork and open minds as we implemented new procedures in the school. It’s been amazing to see how willing and ready everyone was for these changes. As I walk through the school, I am always made aware of how much love and appreciation there is for the school. The excitement, anticipation, and joy we see on the students’ and teachers’ faces every day is contagious. They are so grateful to be in school and learning. Every day we have had to turn away parents who are trying to register their children. It’s so exciting to be a part of a community that is making a difference in so many families’ lives. We are all looking ahead toward a great school year filled with fun and learning!
