Thank you to all of the parents who came out to march in the Memorial Day
parade in Tunbridge. We had a wonderful representation of children from all
the grades and parents, even some Alumni were marching with us! A very
special thank you to Heidi Chapman for her organization and commitment to
this event. We marched proudly in support of our country and were met with a
warm welcome by the people of Tunbridge.
As the warm weather is slowly approaching - keep your fingers crossed - we
wanted to send a humble request out to all parents of pubescent youth to ask
them to shower frequently and maybe look into the use of deodorants. Thanks!
We are looking for a car for Maite (the Basque Chaperone) for the weeks of
June 29th through July 26th or even just part of that. Does anyone have one
we could borrow so the school doesn't have to rent one? Thanks!
We have 9 Basque students and a Basque chaperone coming for a month in July.
Please introduce yourselves if you see them around, they love to practice
their English. If there are fun events that are happening that you think the
students would enjoy, please email Melisa and she will pass it along to
hosting families. Thank you to the ten hosting families!
