Dear Prek
Parents,
Welcome BACK! Hope
everybody enjoyed this passed holiday. We are ready to work and get ready for
December Activities.
MIDTERM REPORTS – Midterm reports were issued last Friday, November 17th.
These should be signed by parents and
returned to the teacher as soon as possible. If you would like a conference
and one was not requested by the teacher, please call the school to set up an
appointment.
In Prekindergarten
we teach our students about sharing and helping. “Angelitos Del Dia” is a
perfect way to help show our kids just how easy this can be and how we can make
a difference in our community.
"Angelitos del Dia" helps out newborn babies born at Materno Infantil
here in Tegucigalpa. They provide moms with newborn essentials (blankets,
pajamas, socks, hats, wash cloths, towels, diapers, baby wipes, baby soap and
baby shampoo).
Your child took
home a bag that you can use to put your donations in.
A great way to
get your child involved is to go through their baby clothes and have them
choose items they would like to donate. Xtra and Emporio are also great places
to shop for baby items. Please feel free to donate as many items as you wish.
Please send the bags back in by Wednesday, December
6th. Thank you!!
