International Day

INTERNATIONAL DAY! HOORAY!

On Friday, March 14th Teach and Bishop's Peak schools will celebrate International Day.

ALL STUDENTS are invited to wear school appropriate international themed clothing. This may include a dress, skirt, top or jacket, hat, or scarf that is reflective of a country. ALL classes will attend an assembly that kicks off International Day in the morning.

4th - 6th grade students will view the list of countries prior to International Day and make a request for their top three choices.  Then three countries will be assigned per student that they will visit following the assembly.

Teach Boosters and Bishop's Peak PTA are working together to organize this event and VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!. If you are interested in VOLUNTEERING (pretty please?  It's a super fun time, and we know you will find your participation rewarding), please respond to one or more of the following:

1.  Be a presenter for International day for grades 4-5-6.  (Friday 3/14 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with lunch to follow)  You will have the chance to share a country of your choice.  It is really fun, and the students enjoy getting to learn about your country.  For more information, please contact International Day chairperson, Idona Cabrinha.  This is a wonderful opportunity to present a country of your heritage or a country of particular interest to you.  You can also partner with another person to present a country together.

2.  Food for the luncheon.  This is a luncheon for presenters and teachers; please bring enough food for 5 people and no nuts, if you please.

3.  Set up.  Hang posters, decorate and set up for luncheon; Friday 3/14 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

4.  Take Down.  Friday 3/14, 12:00-12:30 p.m.

5.  Clean Up.  Any remaining posters or decorations, luncheon cleanup.

Many volunteers are needed to make this a great day for students.  Be proactive!  Contact Idona Cabrinha and let her know how you can help at  icabrinha@yahoo.com, phone 704-8772 or Helen Sipsas hsipsas@yahoo.com, 704-0305.
