Into the Woods Musical

CNG´s musical team is organizing promotional activities for the Into the Woods, Jr. musical, which will be presented November 30-December 2. Therefore, different characters from the musical will visit Primary classrooms to promote it during November 7-9. We wanted to give you a heads up in case you hear your children talking about these very special visitors. In the next CCN (Nov. 10th) you will find the link to buy tickets.

Core Values.  They Are For Adults, Too!

We are sure you are aware of CNG's "Core Values" of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity and Caring.  They are the cornerstones of our work in the social-emotional realm and the basis for conversations about how our community operates.  Part of being role models for our students is "walking the walk".  This year, we have developed a Core Values reflection for adults.  We will ask our teachers to do their own self-reflection and invite you to do the same.  How great would it be for us to be able to help our students have a growth mindset in this area by talking about our own strengths and growth areas?  Please find here the links to the tool in both Spanish and English.  Have fun and enjoy the family conversation.

Smart Watches

This is a friendly reminder that smart watches are not allowed in Primary School. Thank you for your cooperation!

After-School Catholic Religion Class for K4 and K5

CNG´s Religion Department is exploring the possibility of opening a Catholic Religion class for K4 and K5 as an after-school activity. These classes would be offered once a week, starting in January 2024. If you are interested, please write your child/children's name(s) in the respective column no later than Friday, November 17, 2023. Here is the LINK.

Thanksgiving Baskets

During the month of November, CNG parents are asked to participate in the Thanksgiving campaign by purchasing certain food items to put together baskets for CNG General Services and Fundacion Hogar Nueva Granada (FHNG) staff, as a token of our appreciation, in celebration of Thanksgiving.
