Some fun facts about us:
Some fun facts about us:
- We speak a lot of languages! English, Spanish, and Arabic are all well represented, but we have families that speak French, German, Korean and many more languages as well.
- Through a grant, we participate in a World Languages program where easy of our classes in 1st through 5th grade are introduced to a new language in one class a week -- Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and Latin.
- We love how diverse our school is! We celebrate this diversity every fall with our multicultural night -- a great big potluck full of yummy food to sample, exhibits about the countries are families are from, people in traditional costumes, and singing and dancing by students.
- We love to dance! Group dancing at assembly during Fitness Thursdays, Our Ballet Folklorico group, an annual dance party, dancing "brain breaks" in classrooms, plus student talent at our talent show and multicultural nights show how much dancing unites our school.
- Our playground is a public park outside of school hours, which means you'll find families playing after school or neighborhood toddlers or soccer players around when we have weekend events. (And it's an awesome playground, with lots of "spinny things" and a covered blacktop.)
