Queridos Padres (Nursery – 12):

Al aproximarse otra época de Navidad, muchos de nosotros disfrutaremos con nuestros seres queridos y celebraremos los felices recuerdos del año pasado. Al dar gracias por todas las bendiciones y regalos en nuestras vidas, también tenemos la oportunidad de agradecer a las personas que en la Escuela Americana sobresalen, pero que rara vez se les da el reconocimiento que se merecen.

En nombre de todos los alumnos de la Escuela Americana, nos gustaría extender nuestro agradecimiento a los empleados de mantenimiento, a los motoristas, a las niñeras y sus familias, preparando para ellos canastas con víveres como regalos de Navidad. Los estudiantes de cada grado contribuirán con los siguientes artículos:


Nursery Jabón de baño                   Grado 7 Salsa de Tomate

Pre-Kinder Detergente                    Grado 8 Frijoles

Kinder Papel higiénico                    Grado 9 Aceite para cocinar

1er grado Arroz                              Grado 10 Maseca

2do grado Pasta                             Grado 11 Sopa

3er grado Azúcar                            Grado 12 Avena

4to grado Pasta de tomate

5to grado Cereal

6to grado Harina

Gracias por participar en este evento y por involucrar a sus hijos en las actividades caritativas de la Escuela Americana. Por favor enviar el artículo con su hijo al maestro de aula (Pre Escolar y Primaria) y con su Asesor de Grado (MS/ HS) antes del viernes 10 de diciembre. Esperamos poder fomentar en nuestros estudiantes el espíritu de generosidad y compasión el cuál al final, hará de nuestro mundo un mejor lugar.

Sinceramente,

Dear Pre School Parents:

As part of our Character Education Program, the Pre-School organizes a toy distribution activity every Christmas. During the month of December, we will focus on the virtue of “Generosity” and we encourage you to do the same at home. Along with the American School Student Council and National Honor Society, our plan this year is to distribute toys, treat bags and a hot lunch to the children of the American School bus drivers, maintenance workers, nannies, security guards, cleaning, and cafeteria staff. We are asking parents for a voluntary donation of Lps 100.00 which will go towards gifts and treat bags. The treat bags will include an apple, juice, a small bag of candy, and cookies. The paper used to wrap the gifts will be decorated by our students. Our students will also put together all treat bags. The hot lunch for the children will be donated by a group of Pre School parents. Drinks, napkins, plates, etc and the lunch for the adults will be donated by the Student Council and National Honor Society.

The distribution of the toys will take during the first week of December; we are in the process of finalizing all details. Two or three students from each section will act as representatives from the Pre-School on this day. They will be in charge of passing out the toys, treat bags, and lunches.

If you would like to help with any aspect of this activity please contact your room mother as soon as possible. If you have any questions or doubts please feel free to contact me at any time.

We are asking that this voluntary contribution be sent this week so that we are able to begin with this activity.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Claudia Pereira
Pre School Principal
