Due to the wonderful outcome of our 2018 Auction we are able to  continue our Amity Intern Program for the 2018-19 school-year. We plan to host 6 interns next year which produces a great need for host families. We need your help!
As a host family you gain a new unique friendship and learning experience by welcoming an intern from a Spanish speaking country into your home. Additionally, your child will benefit from extra practice and help with their Spanish language skills.
If you are interested, please refer to the
FAQs for more information, then complete the
Amity Program Host Family Application and send it to
amity@puestadelsolpta.org. All applications for the 2018-19 academic year must be received by 4/20/18.

Staff Spotlight: Pati Carpenter
|
|
|
Sra. Pati is Puesta del Sol's multi-talented, veteran art teacher. This is her 3rd year teaching at our school, but her 17th year teaching.
Sra. Pati was born in Mexico and raised in a small border town in Texas. She grew up in a Spanish-only home environment and says that she was essentially an ESL student before the acronym existed.
Sra. Pati graduated from UT with a Bachelors in Fine Arts (ceramics focus) and a Spanish Minor.
Prior to moving to WA with her husband and son, she taught middle school art in Texas and summer camps at Austin's Museum of Art. Sra. Pati and her family love hiking during the PNW summertime.
We're so glad you bring extra joy and creativity to our school!
