Un Mensaje de Directora Sarlos
This week our students attended an assembly where the Choir, Strings and Band from Lakeridge Middle School came to play! It was fun and educational. It is never too early to talk to your students about participating in music programs later.
Our 5th and 2nd grade students did a buddy class activity and really enjoyed it! All classes K-5 had a lesson and did a craft this week related to Lunar New and its cultural traditions.
We had a great turnout last night at our Mandarin and Spanish Immersion presentations! We are so excited about our growing school and the countless opportunities we will have for continued cross cultural education.
Teachers will be working on Report cards tomorrow and there is no school.
Have a great weekend!
