This Friday, Feb 3, 2017 we had a great turnout of Winterfield families to our first Parent University Session this year. Our focus was how to support your child in school, upcoming testing, and our BEAR Bags. We are so grateful and privileged to have such a unique population at Winterfield. Being in the room with Spanish, Nepali, Arabic, & Burmese translations all happening at once is a moment few of us will forget. “There’s a Tibetan saying: ‘Wherever you have friends that’s your country, and wherever you receive love, that’s your home.” - Dalai Lama, The Book of Joy
"During the annual series of events of Welcoming Week, communities bring together immigrants and US born residents in a spirit of unity to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone - including new Americans." With drums playing, children running around with their new blue kites, bright orange flowers being made, and people enjoying tacos before all heading in to hear a free concert by the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Welcome Week at Winterfield was a success. Thanks to all who came! Join us at Sailboat Bay apartments for our annual community night. Come and learn about how you can support Language Learners at Winterfield and in the community.
Feel free to bring a dish to share! The ELL team will be providing bread and pastries from Panera Bread. Date: Thursday, September 8, 2016 Where: Sailboat Bay leasing center/office Time: 4:00-6:00pm In order to create a globally aware classroom, it is crucial to provide quality multicultural literature for our students. |
