THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  

We wish to express our gratitude to all our parents and students for opening their heart this holiday season to share with those around you. The donations of the disinfectant were delivered to FUNDACION ABRIGO last week in the name of our student body. The shoes and socks that were given for the children at NUESTROS PEQUENOS HERMANOS are ready to be handed out at a Christmas event at the orphanage.  Your contributions for the SUPPORT PERSONNEL HOLIDAY BASKETS are being organized and will be given to them this Wednesday.  Since all these donations were voluntary, we deeply appreciate our community’s willingness to reach out and share with others.

 

DPTO NEWS- The DPTO wishes to remind the parents who have not yet done so, to please pay the L.200.00 fee to support the DPTO. This contribution fee was agreed upon on the last Assembly, and is a vital contribution in order to keep on planning fun events for all of our school community to enjoy!  You can leave the payment with Ms. Carolina at the reception.

 

We also want to let you know that our DPTO blog has been updated, so please check it out!
