From the cherry principal

Black History Month

We ended our celebration of Black History Month at Cherry with a special performance by the Alvin Ailey company. They came and presented "Setting the Stage" for our students. After the first number, one kindergarten boy turned to his friend and said, "What a beautiful dance!" The students were dancing and talking about their favorites as they left the gym. Thank you to Robin Vaughn and Carlos McClain for bringing this wonderful performance to our school.

Oak Campus Journée Culturelle  journeeculturelle                

Thanks to the great response we received last year from Journée Culturelle, The Oak campus will have a second annual Journée Culturelle, Wednesday, May 30!

The theme for this year's song, skit, and dance filled program is " Liberty and Freedom Around the World." 

To clarify, unlike the Winter Concert, which is mandatory for students and teachers, the Spring Journée Culturelle is voluntary. Teachers are volunteering extra time to help students learn songs, skits and dances from around the world. However, not all teachers are able to do this because of other classroom commitments.

In addition, even if your student's class is participating  not all students in the class will be in the performance because it is voluntary. We understand that spring is a very busy time for some students with sports and other commitments so students were offered the opportunity to volunteer to perform. 

However, even if they are not in the production, all students will participate as audience members during the daytime student-only performance. Parents, please do not plan to come to the daytime performance because of space constraints.

Parents are encouraged to attend the evening performance,  May 30,  from  5:30-7:00 pm . Please plan to join us!

Thank you for your strong support of our school.
The Journée Culturelle Committee

We Need YOU to Host an Intern!   intern                    

We are excited about expanding the intern program to 11 interns in the fall of 2018! We are counting on families in our school community to welcome an intern in their home. 

For the last eight years it's been my privilege to coordinate the intern program. I've studied abroad in France and lived with a host family, and this program is very close to my heart. I believe in what we do.

Interns are university students from French speaking countries who are pursuing a career in education and apply to spend a year working in the classrooms of our youngest students. I review intern candidates' resumes, review references, interview them in depth and make sure they are a good fit for our school. They also fill out a lengthy questionnaire about the host family experience that helps me match them with families. 

Host families open their homes and welcome an intern for a semester or for a year. They provide a private bedroom and meals when you are together as a family. The school provides a generous monthly stipend to the intern and a monthly city bus pass. One special perk of hosting an intern is that your children will extra practice with their French at home! 

If you'd like to find out more about hosting an intern, please contact Diane Balagna, at  816-888-7400,  dbalagna@academielafayette.org .
