Estimadas familias, 

¡Estamos en una etapa del año muy ocupada y emocionante! Casi terminamos con MCAS y hay variedad de paseos y celebraciones por todo el edificio. 

Hay varios eventos que quiero mencionarles. Primero, el próximo miércoles celebraremos la Casa Abierta del Jardín de Infancia para la clase del 2017. Es un momento muy emocionante cuando nuevas familias visitan nuestro edificio, conocen la facultad y administración y comienzan a formar parte de nuestra comunidad de Amigos. 

Además, el próximo martes celebraremos la ¡Noche de Galería! La Srta. Annette Colón está organizado un fabuloso evento que destaca el trabajo artístico de los estudiantes de todos los grados escolares. El viernes, los estudiantes del octavo grado presentarán sus proyectos de Ciencias en Harvard. Nuestros estudiantes le expondrán su trabajo a diferentes miembros de la comunidad. Por favor, no olviden el Intercambio de Libros auspiciado por Friends of Amigos (FOA). Este se llevará a cabo de martes a miércoles en la tarima de gymnatorium de la escuela. 

¡Que tengan un maravilloso fin de semana! 

Sinceramente, 

Sarah Bartels-Marrero 
Directora

Dear Families, 

It is a busy time of year! MCAS is wrapping up and there are field trips and celebrations throughout the building. 

There are a few notes on upcoming events. 

First, next Wednesday we have our Kindergarten Open House for the Kindergarten class of 2017! This is an exciting time for our new families to come to the building, meet the staff and begin to form a part of our Amigos community. 

Also, next Tuesday is Noche de Galeria! Ms. Annette Colón is organizing a fabulous event that highlights student artwork from the different grade levels. On Friday, we have the 8th grade science showcase at Harvard. Our students will be presenting their work to a variety of community members. Please also don’t forget the Amigos Book Swap, sponsored by the Friends of Amigos (FOA). The swap will run from Tuesday to Wednesday on the gymnatorium stage at school.

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Sincerely, 

Sarah Bartels-Marrero 
Principal
