activities.
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! If you want more
information about NPH’s work in Honduras, please visit
http://www.nph-honduras.org/.
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.
