CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE:
Nuestro Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is an international organization that takes in
abandoned and orphaned children, providing a home and education. Here in
Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over 500 children in a large ranch
near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for severely handicapped
children. While many children at the ranch have aunts, uncles, or
grandparents that come to visit them and can provide some Christmas gifts, some
children at a ranch have no family to visit. It is these children for
whom we would like to provide this Christmas. On the second floor
of the secondary building, an NPH Giving Tree will be set up.
Choose a paper tree that has a child’s information about his/her size for shoes
or socks. Purchase the new item and return it to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm.
7) by Tuesday, December 10, with the tree tag taped to it. As well, there
are tree tags for basic food items that will be donated to the orphanage.
Cash donations will also be accepted to provide shoes and socks for children
whose tags were not selected. Thank you for giving this Christmas!

FUNDACION ABRIGO - Discovery School, in solidarity with FUNDACION ABRIGO (A
foundation that provides lodging for families from outside Tegucigalpa who
bring patients to Hospital Escuela), is asking our school community’s
collaboration. If you would like to participate and help this organization,
please send a donation of 1
gallon of disinfectant per family by Friday, December 6. Your
contribution will be greatly appreciated!
SCIENCE FAIR:
Please remember that Science Fair will be held on Friday, December 6th.
That day, all 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10A students will be involved in the fair
during 3rd and 4th periods. First period will proceed as normal and 1/2 of 2nd
period will be used to set up the fair on the second floor of the secondary
building. As well, students with top projects will be asked to present
their project to a visiting judge that afternoon in the library (meaning the
library will not be available for classes that afternoon). Students from
other classes will be invited to visit the fair in the following
schedule: 6A, 6B, 10B, 11, and 12 during 3rd period and elementary
classes during 4th period (10:53-11:43). More details about the fair will be
given closer to the date.
PASSING GRADE ACCORDING TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - We would like to remind parents that the passing grade,
according to new regulations, is 70% for the Ministry of Education. Your child
needs to score at least 70% in order to avoid coming to recuperation exam/s. We
encourage you to check blogs and Engrade on a weekly basis, and to keep close
communications with teachers.
THIS IS WHAT WE
WILL BE COVERING DURING THE WEEK.
A new IXL username
and password was provided several weeks ago. Students will now have until
Sunday to work on their IXL skills. I will check the IXL reports every Monday.
