Greetings Sports Fans!

is true that to many, March Madness
means basketball…& it can! But here
at Dalat, especially this 2008 year,
it means Softball, Volleyball &

them MSSPP playoff rights for the
first time in many years & certainly
this millennium. Wed the girls
defeated Balik Pulau 25-23, earning
a spot in the semi final where they
lost to the always strong Union,

State T&F Competition
Batu Kawan Stadium:
Joshua
Watson did quite well in his 1st
ever State High Jump competition but
since he was the youngest in his
category he did not make the medal
round this time. Angela Steiert
advances to the 100M Hurdles Final
on Friday + the 200M Hurdles Final
on Thurs am; Frances Wong advances
to the 400M Final on Thursday pm &
she also defends her State High Jump
on Friday along with Theresa &
Margaret, both in the 100M Final but
different age categories!
It is a
proud father telling you that Angela
managed to capture the coveted
Pentathlon Championship Gold Medal
with 1,560 pts on Wed; this is her 1st
attempt & since she is only U15 in
an open event, she can compete in
this event for the next 3 years! Way
to go Ang!J

Charity & Compassion
It is in giving that we receive.
Our focus since Christmas has
been on displaced people and the
poor. We have been able to send
out hundreds of kilos of rice
and oil on a weekly basis to
people who desperately need it.
Please continue to bring in
donations of rice, oil, bihun,
Milo and milk powder.
Even if it is only a small
amount it is more than they have
right now.
If you would like more
information about Charity &
Compassion projects please
contact Beth Steiert at
bsteiert@dalat.org
or call 012 430 2231. All
donations of cash, food or
clothing are gratefully
accepted.
Where Charity & Love exist, God is
there.
Thank you for your donation.

Entertainment is a big part of our
student’s lives. Making sure the
entertainment is safe is a big job.
Every week movies are reviewed by
Dalat Staff to let students and
parents know what, according to our
school’s values, is acceptable
entertainment and what should be
avoided. These reviews are to be
used only as a guide for your
entertainment. I list features of
the movie that you may be
uncomfortable with so that you can
make a wise choice. Keep in mind
that some are appropriate for older
age groups but because of certain
intense situations may not be
appropriate for younger viewers. I
have included the US Rating as well
as the Malaysian Rating. I use the
website
Christian Spotlight on Entertainment
for input on reviews.
