ESL Celebration 2017: One Community
Mark your calendars for our annual ESL Celebration on April 27, 2017 at Chaparral High School! In the past many families have enjoyed this wonderful event throughout which we celebrate students, families, culture, accomplishments, and graduating seniors. You and your families are invited to attend! We hope to see you there!
Please distribute the flyers (attached to the email and posted on the District ELD Google site) to your families, and please print a few to post in your building. If you have graduating seniors, please send the invitation home directly inviting parents to attend with their seniors.
Instead of a slide show, we look forward to enjoying student artwork. See below for more information!
ESL Celebration Art Display
For our end-of-year celebration, we would like to invite your students to submit artwork for the evening. Students can either share 2-dimensional piece they have already created, or they may create art based on the theme of "One Community."
To display the art, we ask that teachers write the student's name, grade, and school on a small, white piece of paper about 3x3 and attach that paper to the bottom, right corner of the student's work. Teachers can bring this artwork on Thursday evening before the students and parents arrive. We will have them set up by 4:30.
This is an optional, fun way to let students get involved.
Thank you!
