CONCLUSION
We are thankful to the school authority and our Elders for their understanding and support during the close and resumption of school activities occasioned by the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. We hope to cover lost grounds during the period and meet the set objectives for the school and the church by the strength that God supplies (Php 4:13).
Thanks and God bless you.
