#29 - MARCH 22, 2024

Dear Primary School Families,

This was an amazing week! It was great seeing you at conferences. Our K5 students had a blast on their CWW trip to Ecoparque, and we celebrated Dia de la Colombianidad, where students had the opportunity to research, learn, and share with others about typical food, traditions, animals, and cultures from different regions in Colombia.

We also want to take this opportunity to wish you a joyful and relaxing Easter Break!

Thank you for your continued support in making our school community a welcoming and inclusive place for everyone.

See you soon!

Paula

Hello PS Families! 

Congratulations to all of you who tried out different ways to practice and reinforce cooperation throughout this month, whether it was with the family challenge, read alouds, or other ways you might have as a family to celebrate this important value. This month, we didn’t receive pictures of families showing cooperation. This is totally voluntary. However, we would love to make this a community wide celebration. Therefore, we encourage you to send pictures for the upcoming value. To celebrate we are sharing some brain boosters (sing-a longs, breathing activities) that resonate with Cooperation. In the meantime, we will brainstorm different ways we can celebrate at the end of each four week cycle.

Sincerely,

Li, Nico and Vero
