Greg Bellemare, Pre-Primary and Primary Director
On Monday September 9, we had our second K, 1, 2 assembly. Our main focus this time was recognizing outstanding values amongst our students, during last year’s final school quarter. “Fairness”, however, was this week’s core value and the one we awarded students for upholding during the 2012-2013 period.
The assembly started with our flag bearers entering the assembly from section 2B. Doing a fantastic job of carrying the Guatemalan flag, Francesca Romano preceded the procession, followed by Maria José Mancilla, caring United States flag and Luis Barba bringing up the rear, with the Colegio Interamericano flag proudly in his hands.
The National Anthem was led by Maty Catu and Lidia Pop and sung by the whole student body present. Daniela Huschke recited and headed the Pledge of Allegiance, helping keep with citizenship, another core pillar of character, present during the assembly.
Mr. Bellemare took some time to explain what kind of scholastic attitudes best exemplifies “Fairness”. A student who is fair in everything they do commands respect and is often well-liked by those around him or her. All of the award winners received certificates, signed the Values Poster and had a group picture taken to be put up in the hallway.
Elementary K, 1,2 were then reminded of the “Grizzly Award”, a prestigious distinction given to the group that displays the best behavior and attention when coming in, participating and leaving the assembly. Miss Ward’s class had the Award with them from their earning it the previous assembly.
Before heading back to class, the school anthem was sung. This is the third successful Elementary assembly we had this year and we couldn’t be prouder of the school spirit felt with each passing week.
