Dear Families, 

What a busy week we had here at Amigos!

Our visit with Superintendent Salim on Wednesday was very positive. He had the chance to meet with families and teachers, and spent most of the day in classrooms with students. He also joined our Instructional Leadership Team for a meeting and enjoyed “Breakfast for Lunch” in the cafeteria with the 4th and 5th graders. I hope that he will be able to join us again soon.

This week the JK and K students enjoyed a trip to Smolak Farms. It was fun to see all their pictures and stories about the trip. Clearly the apple cider, doughnuts and farm animals were a really big hit with our youngest students!

Our 6th graders also spent half of the week at Farm School. This is a wonderful event during which we work on building community and creating memories. Students learn to work on the farm and understand what it means to take care of the Earth.

The CRLS Chorus and their director, Dr. Ivan Stephanov, also visited with Ms. Hamel and the 7/8th grade chorus. The high school students led vocal exercises, explained how they train and collaborated in song with our Amigos Chorus.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely, 

Sarah Bartels-Marrero

Estimadas familias, 

¡Qué semana más ocupada tuvimos aquí en Amigos! La visita el miércoles con Superintendente Salim fue muy positiva. Él tuvo la oportunidad de reunirse con las familias y la facultad, y pasó la mayor parte del día en las aulas con los estudiantes. También se unió a nuestro equipo de liderazgo educativo para una reunión y disfrutó de un "Desayuno para el almuerzo" en la cafetería con los grados 4º y 5º. Espero que vuelva a visitarnos de nuevo pronto.

Esta semana los estudiantes de JK y K disfrutaron de un viaje a Smolak Farms. Fue divertido ver todas sus fotos e historias sobre el viaje. Es evidente que la sidra de manzana, las donas y los animales de granja eran realmente un gran éxito con nuestros estudiantes más jóvenes!

Nuestros alumnos de 6to grado también pasaron la mitad de la semana en la Escuela Granja. Este es un evento maravilloso en el que trabajamos para crear comunidad y recuerdos. Los alumnos aprenden a trabajar en la granja y entender lo que significa cuidar de la Tierra.

El Coro de CRLS y su director, el Dr. Ivan Stephanov, también visitaron a Sra. Hamel y el coro de 7/8º grados. Los estudiantes de CRLS llevaron ejercicios vocales, explicaron cómo practican y colaboraron en canción con nuestro Coro Amigos.

¡Espero que tengan un fin de semana maravilloso!

Atentamente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
