Lower School Shares the Love with a Valentine's Day Community Service Project Lower School took Valentine's Day to heart by showering those in need with a little extra love this year. Led by Kindergarten CoTeacher Stephanie Ftouh, the Lower School students crafted Valentine's Day cards for each of the 112 senior citizens living in a low-income housing residence in Philadelphia. The valentines were then distributed by HACE, an organization that builds just and equitable neighborhoods for residents and small businesses of Eastern North Philadelphia and has helped create a supportive community for frail seniors. Lower School teachers explained to students that one of the most serious problems many of the residents in the building face is loneliness. By sending a Valentine, the students could send a bit of love and hopefully brighten their day. Great job Lower Schoolers!
Ilevame a Casa: 7th Grade Spanish The 7th Graders in Señora Rodriguez's Spanish class were challenged to get creative! After watching a clip from the movie, "Ilevame a Casa" ("Take Me Home"), the students crafted their own stories about a child and a dog using the verb "to be" (ser and estar). From PowerPoint presentations to fully illustrated comic strips, the students gave oral presentations of their original stories to the entire class. ¡Bien hecho a todos!
