Message From the English directorDear Parents,

April was a great month for us

here at CAS! We were pleased to see

so many parents and families at our

Progress Report Night, and we hope

that you enjoyed our students art

exhibits and musical performances!

The value for the month of Aprilwas Faith, and the values of May are

closely related Trust and Honesty.

Our morning devotionals and activities

this month are designed to help our

students realize how important it is to

tell the truth. We know that telling the

truth is not always easy for our kids.

We see this at school, when the

students sometimes lie about doing

their homework or getting off of the

M list. We believe that teaching

students to be honest is one of the most

important lessons we can share with

them, and were sure you agree.

This month, you can help us at

home by discussing the values of trustand honesty with your children,

especially when it comes to those

difficult situations where telling the

truth isnt the easiest choice. Love

does not delight in evil but rejoices

with the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6).

Parents, we appreciate your

ongoing support in teaching your

children right from wrong. We want to

work together with you to help them be

more responsible and do their

homework on time. Please remember to

check Engrade frequently at home.

Many blessings to you and your

loved ones this May, and we wish you al

a very happy Mothers Day!Ms. Laura Cometa

9th

graders make games to teach 1st

grade

Learning math isfun!

Ms. Odds 9th grade Algebra class has been working on a project this Spring to

help the first graders learn more Math. The 9th

graders each created their owngames to incorporate skills that the 1st graders need to know. The games were

completely student-made and had named like Math Bingo, Mathopology, Hot

Potato, Math Party, Cardville, Around the World, and a Scavenger Hunt.

All of the games focused on adding and subtracting single and double-digit

numbers, which are the skills that 1st grade teacher, Ms. Herrera, needs the first

graders to master this year. The two classes get together on Friday afternoons to

play these new games and learn more Math.

Ninth grader Sofia Yon felt that the project was worthwhile both for the 9

th

and 1st graders. She said, I really liked this project because it was different from

the regular work we have to do. Playing with the little kids was great because they

have us to look up to and they can see that growing up is not that bad!

On April 27th here at CAS,

everybody got inspired by the Art

Contest that took place during Parent

Night. All of the artwork was set up in

the classrooms to look like it was in a

museum. The students used a different

type of artistic techniques to showcase

their creativity ranging from cubism

and pointillism to shading and

sculpture, and much more.Of course, some students

artwork showed more effort than

others, and thats probably what

influenced the judges to vote for their

winners.

Eighth grader Ana Isabel Galvez

said, The art contest was fun because

we could show our creative side!

Bachillerato teacher Don Misael

agreed, I think it was a great

experience because the students

showed their creativity.

The Art Contest winners were:

1st grade: Mia Salazar

2nd grade: Leonel Bueso

3rd grade: Angie Paiz & Brineyt Lanzas

4th

grade: Pamela Avila

5th grade: Andre Rodriguez

6th grade: Pamela Molina

7th grade: Juan Rodrigo Valle

& Ronald Castellanos

8th grade: Mabel Pineda

9th grade: Sofia Yon

10th grade: Ana Lucia Galvez

Congratulations to our

Art contest winners!By Kathleen Sotomayor, 4to Bachillerato

Audience enjoys Music show at cas

On Progress Report Night, Friday, April 27th, we got to

see performances from Ms. Sterlings Music Club, Ms. Lilys

music students, and the 1st and 2nd graders.

The Music Club, called Sterling Sound performed many

songs including Princess of China, Price Tag, Pack Up, and

You and Me. The club usually meets every Wednesday at lunch

Transit day!

to practice singing in English, but before parent night they

were meeting every day to get ready. The clubs

performances featured Oscar Alvarado on guitar and piano,

Juan Rodrigo Valle on guitar, and solos by Sofia Yon, Diego

Ochoa, and Indira Gonzalez.

The first graders performed The Tree Song, which

they originally sung for Earth Day, as well as Mi Bella

Guatemala with the 2nd graders. There were also a variety of

students from Ms. Lilys class who played instruments.

Bachillerato student Alejandra Torres said, The

performances were great because we never had that kind of

thing at my old school.

Seventh grader Ana Sofia Galvez agreed, The

performances were great because everybody sang well.

These types of activities are great ideas from the

directors. They should keep doing fun activities like these and

have more performances, talent shows, and competitions.

On April 17th, Pre-School got a visit from PMT

officers, who made a puppet show to teach the

children about traffic rules. Afterwards, the

students had a chance to obey traffic signals as

they rode their own bicycles around campus. It

was great fun for all! Thank you, PMT.

Honoring god on Earth day

Calendar

CAS hosted a special chapel on the

morning of Friday, April 20th to celebrate

Earth Day, which is held every year across

the globe on April 22nd.

In the chapel, we enjoyed various

presentations by the 1-7th graders. The 1st

graders sang The Tree Song and we

learned how to sing Hes Got the Whole

World in His Hands. There were also

readings from the Bible, including Psalm 1

and Genesis. The 3rd graders gave a

presentation about trees and protecting

the environment, while the 2nd graders

taught us about growing plants with

their bean seed project.

Ms. Lewis and the 6th graders also

taught the school how to say Genesis in

sign language. We finished with a prayer

led by the 7th graders. We hope that the

students remember the lessons of this

day, to protect our planet and honor

Gods greatest creation, the Earth!
