I would like to congratulate our students, staff, and parents for participating in the 2nd Annual Run-athon on November 25th. This year Ms. Athena organized the event with the help of many colleagues. Students, teachers, and parents alike raised several thousand euros for the Save The Children organization in Nigeria, Africa. The event combines a strong sense of service for others along with good physical excersice. Shortly after the run began I realized how much more exercise I need. I am now training for next year!

Dear Parents,

I appreciate those who attended our Open House & Inauguration Ceremony last week. If you were unable to be there you will have the opportunity to visit with teachers next week during our Parent-Teacher Conferences. As in years past, Monday will be an early dismissal at 1:30pm for students. Teachers will be available to meet with parents until 3:30pm. In addition, Tuesday students will be dismissed at normal time and teachers will be available to meet again from 3:30-4:30pm. Pres-school and Elementary School teachers will be in their classrooms and Secondary School teachers will be in designated classrooms in the main classroom building.

As we complete the restoration project of Cactus Hill I would like to thank you for your patience during the past few months. Whereas, the preservation of these beautiful Canarian homes was very important from a historical perspective, the project was originally conceived to provide additional classrooms for our growing student population while improving the school’s facilities. In recognition of the project’s termination, I cordially invite you to an inaguration ceremony which will take place at our annual Open House this Thursday, October 23rd beginning in the cafeteria at 7:00pm. Following a brief welcome, parents will have the opportunity to visit classrooms and learn more about teachers and the school’s educational programs. Finally, the inaguration ceremony will begin at 8:45pm. This evening is primarily for the benefit of ASLP parents. Children should only attend if they remain with parents throughout the evening.
