Dear Parents,
We hope you enjoyed your weekend! It is a short week, but a lot of things are happening, so make sure to read everything!
On Wednesday, November 25th, we will have a Thanksgiving Pancake Feast, so please send in 100 lempiras by Monday. It is an early dismissal, thus the children will leave at 11:45pm. There will be no school on Thursday and Friday (November 26th and 27th) because of the Thanksgiving Holidays.
Please remember to send back progress reports. They went home on Friday in your child's folder.
Don't forget to send in your 5lbs of sugar. These food items are part of the Christmas food baskets given to our support staff.
Songfest will shortly be upon us. The students will perform a Mario Bros song. For Songfest, the students must have:
