Estimadas familias,

Hemos estado ocupados aquí en Amigos. Terminamos la semana pasada con nuestro concierto de la Herencia para JK-4. Disfruté ver tantas de nuestras familias y, por supuesto, los estudiantes eran fantásticos. Muchas gracias a la Sra. Hamel y a toda la facultad y padres que ayudaron a que este concierto fuera un éxito! El jueves, nuestras clases del 4to grado tuvieron un desayuno y celebraron la escritura estudiantil en inglés y español y finalmente, nuestros estudiantes JK-K tuvieron su primera "Cantata" del año.

Los estudiantes de 7mo y 8vo grado están ocupadísimos en preparación para su presentación interactiva "De hogar a hogar", inspirada por su visita a la exhibición de Doctores sin Fronteras en octubre y la presentación de la Dra. Theresa Betancourt (madre de familia) y su equipo de la Escuela de Salud Pública. Los estudiantes están explorando la pregunta ¿Qué define un sentido de hogar? a través de testimonios de inmigrantes y refugiados. Estarán presentando múltiples experiencias de refugiados e inmigrantes con un enfoque en los recursos de sobrevivencia, los obstáculos enfrentados, la navegación de diferentes culturas, los factores de atracción y expulsión, y la política global, federal y municipal. La presentación se llevará a cabo el miércoles 21 de diciembre en el auditorio de Amigos de 6:30 - 8PM. Dado el tema intenso y maduro que se explorará, invitamos a familias de estudiantes de 5to grado para adelante que visiten la exposición.

También les quiero invitar a ver nuestro cartel de “¡Nosotros también fuimos adolescentes!“ en la pared cerca de la rampa a lado del gimnasio. Es una oportunidad para aprender más sobre nuestra facultad y participar en el juego de “Tres verdades”.

¡Que tengan un fin de semana maravilloso!

Atentamente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero

Dear Families,

It has been a busy time here at Amigos. We ended last week with our JK-4 Heritage Concert. I enjoyed seeing so many of our families and, of course, the students were fantastic. A big thank you goes out to Ms. Hamel and all the staff and parents who helped make this concert a success! On Thursday, our 4th grade classes held a breakfast and celebrated student writing in English and Spanish and finally, our JK-K students had their first “Cantata” of the year.

Now, the 7th and 8th graders are busy preparing for their interactive "Home to Home" presentation next week, inspired by their visit to the Doctors Without Borders exhibit in October and the presentation of Dr. Theresa Betancourt (Amigos parent) and her team from the School of Public Health. Students are exploring the question, What defines a sense of home? through the testimonies of immigrants and refugees. They will be presenting multiple experiences of refugees and immigrants with a focus on resources for survival, obstacles faced, navigation of different cultures, factors of attraction and expulsion, and global, federal and municipal politics. The presentation will take place on Wednesday, December 21, in the Amigos Gymnatorium from 6:30 - 8PM. Given the intense and mature subject to be explored, we invite families of 4th grade students and above to visit the exhibition.

I also want to invite you to take a peek at our “We were teens too!” board on the wall by the ramp going up to the gym. It is a fun opportunity to get to know more about our school staff and play our “Three Truths” game.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely,


Sarah Bartels-Marrero
