Hola personal y comunitario,
¿Puedes creer que éste es nuestro último mes completo de este año escolar? Nos estamos preparando para EOG y cierre de este año escolar, así como la planificación para el año 2010-2011. Esta semana (del lunes) vamos a tener nuestra segunda Noche Latina de este año escolar en nuestro Media Center. Por favor, únase a nosotros para la información, la alimentación y la gran confraternidad. Tengan una buena semana y por favor enviar una respuesta que me permita saber si hay alguna forma que yo pueda ayudar a tener una transición sin problemas al final del año.
