Dear Families,

We have a strong writing program at Amigos, which is evident in the student work you see regularly in classrooms and bulletin boards throughout the building. This week I want to congratulate our students who participated in the Cambridge Public Library and Cambridge Tree Project 19th Annual Poetry Contest. Students across the grades worked hard to write beautiful and meaningful poetry and we have many winners. The Poetry awards ceremony and reading will be held Wednesday, May 31 at 6PM in the Lecture Hall at the Main Library, 449 Broadway (next to Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School).

I also want to congratulate two students who have been selected for awards in the Longfellow poetry competition, Francesca Ciampa in 6th grade and Camila Tedesco in 7th grade. The ceremony and poetry reading will be held on Sunday, June 4 at 2PM at the Longfellow House.

I hope you can enjoy some of their amazing and moving work. Please click here to read some of the winning poems. I will continue sharing these wonderful poems in subsequent newsletters.

This weekend is the Ragnar Race and the Amigos Flash are running. We wish all of our runners a safe and fun run and thank them for their efforts!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal

Estimadas familias,

Tenemos un programa de escritura muy fuerte aquí en la Escuela Amigos lo cual es evidente en el trabajo estudiantil que se ve regularmente en las aulas y los tablones de anuncios en todo el edificio. Esta semana quiero felicitar a todos los estudiantes que participaron en el Certamen de Poesía de la Biblioteca Pública de Cambridge/Premios de Poesía del Décimo Noveno Proyecto Anual del Árbol. Los estudiantes de todos los grados trabajaron duro para escribir una poesía hermosa y significativa y tenemos muchos ganadores. La ceremonia de premiación y lectura de poemas será el miércoles, 31 de mayo a las 6PM en el Salón de Lecturas en la Biblioteca Principal de Cambridge, 449 Broadway (al lado de la Escuela Cambridge Rindge and Latin High).

También quiero felicitar a dos estudiantes que han sido seleccionados para los premios en el concurso de poesía Longfellow, Francesca Ciampa en 6 º grado y Camila Tedesco en 7 º grado. La ceremonia y la lectura de poesía se llevará a cabo el domingo, 4 de junio a las 2PM en la Casa Longfellow.

Espero que puedan disfrutar de su increíble y emocionante trabajo. Por favor visiten este enlace para leer algunos de lo poemas ganadores. Continuaré compartiendo estos poemas maravillosos en los próximos boletines.
