Dear Families, 

We had a wonderful School Spirit Assembly this week! Our theme for this week was “Exceeding Expectations and Challenging Your Limits”. We started with our school chant and then the 1st grade students sang “Man in the Mirror”. Our 8th graders MC’d the event and shared strategies for testing, making cultural connections and perseverance. The 3rd grade shared with us some juggling skills and cultural dancing they’ve been learning in PE class with Ms. Green and we enjoyed some “Shout Outs”. Finally we ended the assembly with the whole school singing “La escalada” or “The Climb”, a song about perseverance and working hard.  

Have a wonderful April vacation!

Sincerely, 

Sarah Bartels-Marrero

Estimadas familias, 

¡Esta semana tuvimos una gran Asamblea de Espíritu Escolar! Nuestro tema de esta semana fue “Exceder y desafiar nuestros límites”. Comenzamos con nuestro consigna o cántico escolar y luego, los estudiantes del 1er grado cantaron “Hombre en el espejo”. Los estudiantes del 8vo grado fueron los anfitriones del evento y compartieron estrategias para tomar exámenes, hacer conexiones culturales y perseverar. El 3er grado compartió destrezas de malabarismo y bailes culturales que han aprendido en la clase de Educación Física con Ms. Green, y todos disfrutamos de los “Cumplidos a toda voz”. Finalmente, culminamos la asamblea con toda la escuela cantando “La escalada” o “The Climb”, una canción sobre la perseverancia y el esfuerzo.

¡Qué tengan unas felices vacaciones de abril!

Sinceramente, 

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
