Thanksgiving Celebrations

It is that time of the year when friends and families come together to be thankful for life and the many things they are provided with.

Interamericano’s students joined in celebrating this wonderful time and demonstrated their thankfulness. Thanks to the support and enthusiasm of parents and teachers, each level organized a traditional thanksgiving meal for the kids.

Children from elementary school gathered in each classroom to share and enjoy the food. Middle school held the event in the cafeteria, where the moms were ready to serve and share with the kids. Last but not least, high school students got together in the covered court, where they not only enjoyed the food, but also fun games.

After this holiday, students are ready to do great in finals and begin their Christmas break.

Family Day 2014!

On Saturday, November 15, OPAI and Colegio Interamericano celebrated the traditional Family Day. After months of planning and weekly meetings, the school’s parent association was able to see the fruit of their hard work and organization.

With the help of a group of 13 mothers from the parent association, along with the whole maintenance, administration and educational staff, Family Day was a success. More than 1,800 people attended the event and many parents enjoyed the rides along with their children. Teachers and staff were also able to enjoy some of the games and other entertainment provided by OPAI. Children along with their parents enjoyed taking pictures with more than a dozen Disney and Marvel characters that visited the school during that day’s event as well.

This year OPAI had some new games and activities including a Photobooth stand with unlimited pictures, Roller Balls at the soccer field, two types of go karts, 9 Fun Fair games, and a variety of food and snacks for the whole community to enjoy. OPAI also had a stage set up at the soccer field in order to support this year’s school campaign about Diversity.

Overall the event was a success and OPAI was pleased to receive emails and thank you notes from parents, teachers, and administrative staff.

Thank you for all your support and as always OPAI will keep on working hard to support and be of service to the whole Interamericano Community.
