the Early Childhood area for those parents who would like to bring their
children to school. There will be movies, arts & crafts, board games and
word games available for those who find child care on Saturday a difficulty!

RECYCLING CHALLENGE: Students keep bringing in your recyclable materials
(newspapers, magazines, notebooks, paper board boxes, cardboard, aluminum cans,
and plastic bottles) for the recycling challenge given by Arca de
Esperanzas. Remember that juice and milk boxes and Pringles-type cans
cannot be recycled due to being a pressed mixture of aluminum, plastic, and
paper. Thank you for continuing to support environmental
awareness. Class that meet their challenge of bringing 10 lbs per student
will earn a cookie party!
SUMMER CAMPS AT DISCOVERY SCHOOL
- Just like last year, there will be two summer camps in the month of
June. Discovery Zone 7 will be a fun, artistic and entertaining camp for
children 3 to 9 years old. There will also be a reinforcement camp for reading,
writing and French for students in grades K-2. Both camps will run from June 13
to July 1, with the same schedule (8:00 a.m. to 12:00). Transportation is
available at a small additional cost. If you or a relative/friend is
interested, more information can be given to you by Ms. Carolina or at the
accounting offices in school.

***Important: Please note that homework is not given to students over the weekend. Last week's Math homework was given to students on Thursday to be marked Tuesday as Ms. Linh was away Friday. If students have work over the weekend, it is due to the fact that they did not manage their time wisely during the class time provided.
