UPCOMING EVENTS

THANKS TO OUR CHAPERONES

Thanks to all of our second grade chaperones: Ms.Chibonga, Ms. Navarro, Ms. Ventura and Ms.Garcia for accompanying us last Thursday on our fieldtrip to Metromedia.




BOOK CHARACTER PRESENTATIONS

All parents are cordially invited to see our second graders present their book characters to their Reading Buddies. We are planning to start from 8:25 a.m.– 8:50 a.m. This is an excellent opportunity for them to practice their oral skills and talk about the elements of a story.

The Book Character Committee wants to celebrate lunch with our second grade book characters. They asked for a Lps.70.00 contribution for this activity. Please send them with your child inside their Take Home Folder no later than today.

HAVE LUNCH WITH YOUR ELEMENTARY STUDENT

The school Cafeteria wants to invite all the Elementary Parents to come and have lunch with their child(ren) on Friday, November 4. On this day, the Adult size meal will be offered for the children size price! You can order lasagna or pizza from the cafeteria. Please contact Ms. Marta Bandes.

Have a nice week!
