During our Spiritual Emphasis week we were blessed to have the Gideons visit us. They gave a Bible to all of our students in 5th grade through 12th grade. We are so very blessed to be able to study the Word of God. Many thanks to the Gideons and their generosity to our students.

Thanks
I am going to miss each and every one of you. It has been a pleasure to be part of your child’s academic life. I have enjoyed teaching them, listening to them and sharing the word of God with them. I want to thank all the families that sent in treats, photographs and other supplies for our different festivities, activities and lessons.
10th- What a wonderful bunch of students. I will greatly miss you and thank you for making every morning one filled with laughter. This month we finish on Chapter 6 learning about hotel accommodations in different countries. Please continue to practice your Español over the summer.

NHS and NJHS
On Tuesday, May 22nd, we conducted our National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society Ceremony. This ceremony is beautiful as students carry during the processional and recessional. We are very proud to have inducted 95 new members to NHS and 13 NJHS. We welcomed back 100 NHS and NJHS members from last year. Both Societies worked very hard on their service project, raising money through bake sales and other means. Students were delighted to take what they had raised to the different institutions. What a blessing to be able to bless others. Please click on the BLUE inserts for our Program.
Here is a little history about the National Honor Society and the criteria for selection:
When the National Honor Society was founded in 1921, the hope was to create an organization that would recognize and encourage high school students’ academic achievement while developing other characteristics essential to citizens in a democracy. The National Junior Honor Society was founded shortly thereafter-in 1929 to recognize middle school students in the same areas. Now, over 80 years later, these Societies have become prestigious organizations with outstanding faculty members and students from the school community. Their reputation for excellence is the result of years of commitment on the part of everyone involved. Membership is thus both an honor and a commitment.

Cinco de Mayo
This month we will have the opportunity to dive into the Mexican culture and the reason they celebrate “Cinco de Mayo”- The 5Th of May. Ask your students about all the activities occurring during this month. We will be having a small 4 de Mayo celebration, if you would like to bring something in. Students will also learn about the Aztec legends and stories and we will be discussing the beauty of Mexico’s landscape. The class will also learn about the battle against the French in 1862.

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.

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.

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.
