Estimadas familias,

Tuvimos una exitosa Casa Abierta de Kindergarten y fue emocionante ver a tantos de nuestros nuevos estudiantes y familias. Quiero agradecer a mis padres del ASC por venir a ayudar. Agradezco verlos y que se unan a mí para dar la bienvenida a nuestras nuevas familias.

Me complace anunciar que Lisa Ravicz es la nueva Tesorera de FOA! Si ven a Lisa, asegúrense de darle las gracias. Este es un papel muy importante y ella comenzó de lleno al unirse a mí en la Casa Abierta K para conocer a los padres y hablar con ellos acerca de FOA.

Una de las cosas que la Sra. Castillo, directora de nuestro programa después de la escuela, y yo esperamos lograr es más colaboración entre el día escolar y el programa después de la escuela. Este año tanto la Sra. Annette como el Sr. Swaby ofrecieron clases después de la escuela para nuestros estudiantes. Este fin de semana pasado el grupo de TaeKwonDo del Sr. Swaby participó en el Torneo de Artes Marciales Spring Challenge. Nuestros estudiantes lo hicieron de maravilla y terminaron ganando varias de las competencias. ¡Estamos muy orgullosos de ellos! ¡Gracias Sr. Swaby!

La semana que viene no habrá boletín ya que estaré acompañando al octavo grado en su viaje de graduación a Nueva York. Este es su paseo culminante y estaremos visitando el Museo del Barrio, El Repertorio Español, La Isla Ellis y otros lugares en la ciudad de Nueva York

¡Espero que disfruten el fin de semana largo!

Directora

Dear Families,

We had a successful Kindergarten Open House and it was exciting to see so many of our new students and families. I want to thank my ASC parents for coming to help out. I appreciated seeing you and having you join me in welcoming our new families.

I am excited to announce that Lisa Ravicz is the new FOA Treasurer! If you see Lisa, please be sure to give her your thanks. This is a very important role and she started out with a bang by joining me at the K Open House to meet parents and talk with them about FOA.

One of the things Ms. Castillo, director of our after school, and I are hoping to achieve is more collaboration between the regular school day and the after school program. This year both Ms. Annette and Mr. Swaby ran after school classes for our students. This past weekend Mr. Swaby’s Tae Kwon Do group participated in the Spring Challenge Martial Arts Tournament. Our students did amazing and ended up winning several of the competitions. We are so proud of them! Thank you Mr. Swaby!

There will be no newsletter next week as I will be enjoying New York City with our 8th graders. This is their culminating trip and we will be visiting El Museo del Barrio, El Repertorio Español, Ellis Island and other great NYC sights.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal

2nd Annual Reader Prom
June 15 | 7:30PM | Dilboy VFW, Davis Square
The Porter Square Books Foundation, who brought George O’Connor and Jerry Craft to speak to the students of the Cambridge Schools this year, is hosting their 2nd Annual Reader Prom. All the proceeds will go to the Foundation and will help us bring more events and books to the students of Cambridge. Dress up in your finest prom fashion and bring a copy of your favorite book as your date to donate to a local nonprofit. (It’s the only prom where you’re supposed to dump your date right away!) There will be free snacks and soft drinks, a cash bar, music, dancing, “after-prom” style games and activities, and, of course, “chaperones.” You’ll also be able to get a formal prom picture with your “date” from and a bookish corsage.
