This week, we want to begin with a big shout-out to Pablo, who is being recognized for his commitment to caring for our environment. This recognition is not about budget savings, but about environmental responsibility, being intentional with paper use and keeping printing to a minimum throughout January. Small actions like these make a meaningful difference. 🌿

A huge thank you as well to Alonso, who continues to go above and beyond in countless ways. From stepping in to sub when needed, to creating spreadsheets that help us analyze data and simplify our work, to developing formulas that make Canvas reports and actas de juntas far more manageable, and even sending those timely good morning messages and stickers last week, right when we needed them most... Alonso, you are truly a lifesaver. Your support keeps us moving forward and reminds us what teamwork really looks like. ⭐

Moments like these are a reminder of why our Middle School team is so special. Our teachers are the perfect example of what family feels like at work, people who support one another, step up when needed, and show up with generosity and care. There are no words to fully express how meaningful it is to be part of a team like this. ❣️

We also have exciting news on the athletics front! Our Menor teams have been shining, with teams advancing to the Super Liga Estudiantil semifinals and others earning first place at the Copa San Gabriel. What an incredible moment for our students and for our Athletics Department, we are so proud of you! 🏆

And finally… a little trivia for those reading all the way through 👀

One of our 6th grade students recently performed on the stage at Teatro Scala in the Blancanieves ballet production. Do you know who she is? Ask around and make sure to congratulate her. I had the chance to see her perform, and she was absolutely amazing! 🌷
