#30 - APRIL 5, 2024
Dear Primary School Families,
We hope you had a chance to rest and enjoy time with family and friends during the Easter break! This week brings lots of wonderful events for PS. We are wrapping up PS CWW trips, where students had a fun and amazing learning experience. Also, on Wednesday, there is a Parent University, and 2nd-grade Market Day on Friday. For this event, CNG and FHNG students got together multiple times to plan for it and had the opportunity to share, integrate, and collaborate with each other.
Have a nice weekend!

2nd Grade Market Day is Back Market Day is back! Your child is invited to help our 2nd graders in their service learning project. Our 2nd graders will be selling their beautiful, handmade crafts to all Primary and 3rd grade students. We recommend that your child brings between 10,000-20,000 pesos, as each item will be sold for 5,000 pesos. All of the money raised will go towards tuition to students from the Fundacion Nueva Granada. This event will take place on Friday, April 12 in the cafetorium.
Thank you for all of your support!
2nd grade team.

PS Parent University Join us for an opportunity to learn how to teach your kids how to be safe online at home! In this workshop, designed for parents and caregivers, we will dive into the important topics of screen time, digital footprints, and social media. We will answer questions like: How much screen time should our kids have? Should I let my kids browse online alone? Should I post photos of my kids on my social media? You'll leave with practical strategies to create your own home media plan for your family and how to model safe online behaviors for your children. Don't miss this opportunity to empower yourself with the knowledge and tools to navigate this big scary online world with confidence! Topic: Digital Citizenship: Online Safety at Home Presenter: Cramer Peterson
*This is the same online safety workshop that Mr. Cramer gave at the beginning of this school year (Trimester 1, 2023). If you came to that workshop, we welcome you to join again to deepen your learning and share your experience with other parents and caregivers! NOTE: We hope you can come to the workshop in person, if not, Parent Universities are hybrid (Zoom and in person). This is the Zoom LINK. (ID de reunión: 965 5108 3804 Código de acceso: 256808). |

You can also send us other ways of how you showed this value. Please send these to lparedes@cng.edu.
