UPCOMING EVENTS
December 14 Fieldtrip to Museo para La Identidad Nacional (MIN)
located in Tegucigalpa’s downtown area.
In our Social Studies unit it is our goal to observe the changes that have taken place in Honduran history and how things have improved in our society. Therefore, we are planning a fieldtrip to MIN. Due to the morning traffic in the downtown area we will leave school at 8:15 a.m. We will head back to school at 11:00 a.m. The entrance fee is Lps.30.00 so please send this money with your child no later than Monday. The guided tour will be in English and Spanish.
Make sure the children have eaten a hearty breakfast since we will be having our snack a little bit later than usual. Please pack something easy to handle. Please wear the Discovery School shirt for the fieldtrip.
December 15 Christmas Lunch @ 12:15 p.m. and Song fest @ 6:00 p.m.
Please send the Lps.120.00 with your child for our Christmas Lunch. The Christmas
Committee ordered a KFC menu which includes: krispy chicken and sides, drinks,
dessert and a Christmas present for each student.
Our second graders have been working really hard to prepare for their presentation this
Thursday, December 15. We want them to be back in school by 5:30 p.m. the latest.
All Second grade students should come dressed in black bottoms (pants, skirts) and a white, red or green shirt for the presentation.
