Congratulations to last year’s seventh graders at the Abayudaya Elementary School in Uganda, who got wonderful grades on the national Primary Leaving Exams! Of the 26 students who were completing primary school, 8 got First Level scores, and the remaining 18 got Second Level. No students got grades of Third or Fourth Level. Until this year, only one student had ever earned a First Level grade.

We honor the students for their hard work, and Headmaster Aaron Kintu Moses and the teachers for their contribution to this great success.

MAZAL TOV!
