Dear Elementary Parents,

We find ourselves at the front of a short week, with a 4-day weekend drawing near. I know everyone is looking for a little break before the busy weeks leading up to December break. This week, though short, has some great learning opportunities and important announcements!

Space STEAM Day
is this Tuesday! We are very much looking forward to a day of fun, imagination, and creative problem-solving. And a big thank you goes out to all of the parents who have helped to equip us with recycled materials to use on this day. We can't wait to get started! Children are encouraged to wear SPACE-themed clothes tomorrow. Another big thank you goes out to Mrs. Janet Inofuentes, who is our STEAM Coordinator and has helped to bring this special day to life! Thank you, Mrs. Janet!

Library Reminder: This is a friendly reminder that our elementary library is open on Tuesday mornings, from 8:00 until 8:45 for parents. Research findings have consistently found that there is nothing more impactful on a human being's success in life than having parents who read to them as children. Take advantage of our wonderful library - the largest collection of English books in Bolivia, I'm told!

Upcoming Parent Coffee: Technology Use at ACS and at Home. Please join us on Tuesday, November 28th at 8:15 am for a CFG Edition Parent Coffee focused on addressing family and parenting challenges related to technology. To learn more, or to register for the event, please scan the QR code on the poster below. We hope to see you there!

Food Drive for Casa Amandita: The Elementary School Leadership Council is continuing its food drive for Casa Amandita. We have received an incredible amount of food donations in the past week - our community is so generous. Thank you for your continued support! For more information on the food drive and the specific foods needed, click HERE. The drive ends on December 8th. 

Thanks for reading! I wish you a zesty and spirited week!

Sincerely,

Eric Crabtree
Elementary Principal
