Midterm Week... update and make-ups!

1/25/2020

 
This past week of midterm exams, students were able to de-stress a little with various activities. Therapy dogs came to provide students some comfort during the exam break and study with a buddy sessions. The Environmental Club offered some mental relaxation with a "green activity" of painting baby clay pots and then planting a plant the next day.  Students were able to pull out the ping pong tables for some friendly competition too.

MAKE-UPS: For students who were not able to take exams during the designated time  -and whose parent/guardian reported the absence to the main office - MAKE-UPS  have been scheduled for MONDAY, JANUARY 27 in the library. There will be 3 exam blocks available for students needing to make up more than one midterm. Your student's teacher will have communicated to your student, copying the parent /guardian. Students who are making up an exam are to report to the  library at 7:40 on Monday morning.

                                            Semester 2, here we come!

Midterms Begin Tuesday 1/21!

1/20/2020

 
Just a friendly reminder... Please be sure to read through carefully.

Celebrating the New Year in Spanish Class:

1/12/2020

 
This is from André Salkin, our Latino local leader
 
Today I brought a three kings bread, or Rosca de Reyes to celebrate Epiphany with Mr. Vazquez's period 6 ECE Spanish class. Epiphany is a commonly celebrated holiday in Hispanic communities. It commemorates the visit of the three kings to Jesus Christ. The class enjoyed the uniqueness of the cake and two students found the hidden baby figure in their slice, bidding them good luck for the new year. My mother and I got the cake at La Flor de Jalisco Bakery in Portchester, New York, a legendary bakery serving the NY Mexican community. This picture shows Las Roscas de Reyes stacked to the ceiling in the iconic bakery.
