Dear families, The seventh and eighth grade students hosted a Cultural Bazaar this Friday. Stations were set up to represent different countries. First grade was led by their 7th/8th grade leader to 4 countries of choice. When visiting these countries, the middle school students presented their projects. They informed the first graders about traditions, customs and informative facts of their studied country. The students were also offered food samples from the respective regions. This week, first grade will celebrate the culmination of the Bookworm. Throughout the event, the students have been highly motivated and proud to contribute to its growth. Their dedication to this group project and to reading was impressive. I look forward to seeing their costumes this Thursday! Best, Seema Curriculum HighlightsMathematics
