This Tuesday, students in the HS will hear from Jack Bimrose of Texas Tech University here in Costa Rica about the future of the workplace. Jack Bimrose is a native of Oregon and graduate of the University of Portland. Before working with the Texas Tech University – Costa Rica project, he was Director General of Lincoln School here in San José for 14-years. Prior to Costa Rica, he was a secondary principal in the United States and at the Roosevelt American School of Lima, Perú, the Lincoln American School of Buenos Aires, Argentina and the American School of Kuwait. He now works with special projects at the Costa Rican satellite campus of Texas Tech University located on Avenida Escazú. We are looking forward to kicking off some career focused assemblies with Mr. Bimrose’s presentation.
Donando Ando is a student lead community service project whose mission is to provide soccer shoes and clothing to communities in need. The ways in which you can help is by donating used soccer shoes and/or soccer clothing that are still in good condition. Each time the HS soccer team has a friendly match against any local soccer teams, Donando Ando will be able to provide donations to the coaches of each team so that they can give back to their community.
I am working on the final exam schedule for the end of the semester. The schedule will be out in the next newsletter. For those of you planning your vacations, exams will end on December 12 at 10am.
This past week, Junior Miya Babchuk went to Escuela David Marin Hidalgo to present to second graders about the to train dogs, dog communication, and body language. Miya has a passion for dogs, especially their ability to reduce stress. Miya actually brings her dog the first Tuesday of every month to school in the mornings so students can start their day off with a smile and a little less stress!
We’re proud of Miya and her commitment to serve her community outside of CDS!
