Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

The staff appreciation lunch given by parents this year was fantastic! Teachers had so much wonderful and delicious food to choose from and truly felt your appreciation. It is so important to take the time to appreciate one another and I thank you, our families, for your thoughtfulness.

There is one more week left to order Amigos gear! To purchase these products, please click on the following links and follow the payment guidelines.

T-shirts/Camiseta: Price/Precio = $ 10.34

Sweatpants/Pantalón deportivo: Price/Precio = $19.04
Be advised that the “AMIGOS” lettering will flow down the side of the pants, not the front as shown in the picture.

At Amigos we love poetry and once again, our students did very well in the Cambridge Public Library & Cambridge Tree Project 20th 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 30 at 6:00 p.m. in the Lecture Hall at the Main Library, 449 Broadway (next to Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School).

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal

Estimadas Familias,

¡El almuerzo de apreciación de la facultad que dieron ustedes este año fue fantástico! Los maestros tenían tanta comida maravillosa y deliciosa para comer y realmente sintieron su agradecimiento. Es muy importante tomarse el tiempo para apreciarnos mutuamente y les agradezco a ustedes, nuestras familias, por su consideración.

Queda una semana para conseguir ropa “Amigos”. Para comprar estos productos, visiten los enlaces a continuación y sigan las pautas de pago.

T-shirts/Camiseta: Price/Precio = $ 10.34

En Amigos, nos encanta la poesía y una vez más, nuestros estudiantes hicieron muy bien en el Certamen de Poesía de la Biblioteca Pública de Cambridge/ Premios de Poesía del Vigésimo Proyecto Anual del Árbol. Estudiantes de todos los grados trabajaron duro para escribir poesía hermosa y significativa y tenemos varios ganadores. La ceremonia de premiación y lectura de poemas será el miércoles, 31 de mayo a las 6:00 PM en el Salón de Lecturas en la Biblioteca Principal de Cambridge, 449 Broadway (al lado de la Escuela Cambridge Rindge and Latin High).

¡Que tengan un fin de semana maravilloso!

Atentamente,

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
