Projects covered a gamut of Subjects: Science, History, English, Bible, Math, Sports, Home Economics, Technology, Fashion, etc…
The night was filled with excitement, smells of food from different countries, dances, singing, and so much more. We were honored to have with us Ms. Gloria Gaynor, famous for the song “I will survive”. Also, Mr. Michael Strawberry, brother of Darryl Strawberry, a former major-leauger, was able to attend and spend some time with our students. We are seriously honored to have had all the parents and students, families, friends, alumni, associates and partners that were able to attend.
We are so very proud of all of our students and we thank all the parents, staff and students for all of their hard work.

Spiritual Emphasis Week
February was a blessing to us all. The students spiritually blossomed during Spiritual Emphasis week
10th grade Bible- I have seen these students really mature in their relationship with God and their school work. We discussed about “Godly Relationships”. We discussed the Book of Ruth and how God manifested beautiful relationships in this book. We also discussed what we should expect from relationships with our friends, family and loved ones.

Lazarillo de Tormes
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
This month, as we learn about the variety of Spanish-speaking cultures, we also learn how we can appreciate and value other cultures without being part of them.
The highlight of our learning is journeying through the life of Lazarillo de Tormes. The name itself, Lazarillo, means seeing-eye dog. This young lad, who became an orphan at a young age, learns how his life and instincts for survival are influenced by the masters he serves. It speaks on life, but it also speaks on survival. It is not the world and negative experiences that define us – but what we do with these experiences; using them as stepping stones; that make us.
Journey with us as our Spanish vocabulary increases to greater heights. I encourage you, if possible, to continue speaking Spanish at home as this will enable learning all throughout.

Happy Valentine Days!
We do not celebrate love as the world celebrates, for we have known true, perfect, and genuine love by God in Christ.
This month, we take advantage of the rise and fall of temperature outside to learn about it’s effect on our health and how we can express ourselves in explaining our health to a medical professional, in order to be treated for the right conditions. For students who strive to become nurses or doctors, it’s beneficial learning all about medical emergencies in Spanish.
We will also be practicing how to perfectly use the Perfect Present tense in Spanish.
As we enjoy our health, may we stop and reflect on all the great and awesome blessings God has given us. He loves us and wants the best for us. Everything has a time and purpose, am I right?
Journey with us as our Spanish vocabulary increases to greater heights. I encourage you, if possible, to continue speaking Spanish at home, as this will enable learning all throughout.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
This month we have learned how to ask for the menu to order meats, seafood, vegetables, and much more from vocabulary concerning food. Students created skits as practice on how to ask for a menu, food, and even ask check please? in a restaurant. We shall continue learning how to conjugate verbs using the preterite past tense.
Soon, we begin learning vocabulary of various types of telecommunications; knowledge essential in today’s technological world. Students will learn names for parts of a computer, telephone, and more, as well as learn how to conjugate words in theimperfect past tense perfectly.
Journey with us as our Spanish vocabulary increases to greater heights. I encourage you, if possible, to continue speaking Spanish at home, as this will enable learning all throughout.
