This week went by fast, and we are excited for next week as we will be celebrating all week!

Next week, we will celebrate Kindness Challenge Week, where students will have opportunities to demonstrate kindness both at school and at home. Additionally, we will recognize National School of Choice Week, and we are truly grateful that you have chosen Georgia Brown for your students.

We will also celebrate the 100th day of school, marking a milestone where our tigers are 100 days smarter!

It promises to be a fun-filled week ahead

Every year, we collect valuable information from our families and staff to help us develop the Comprehensive School Safety Plan. Your participation is crucial in ensuring that we create a plan that effectively meets our students' needs.

We appreciate your time and effort in completing the survey. Your insights make a significant difference in our planning process.

Georgia Brown Dual Immersion will be celebrating our annual Career Day, Thursday, February 6, 2025. On this day we are celebrating our community. I would like to invite you to come to our school and share your career with our classrooms.

We have reserved the morning from 8:15 am-12:00 pm to have community members, parents and grandparents present to our students. Each session is approximately 20 minutes. We have 23 classrooms full of students that are ready to listen and learn about the exciting careers in our community.

Topics to focus on:

• Your educational or career path

• Did you have any struggles to overcome?

• Describe your job and show supplies/materials

• How often do you speak Spanish, or do you have the need to speak Spanish?

• Any advice for students.

You are welcome to indicate a particular classroom or grade level to read to. Feel free to bring materials and or uniform.

If you are interested in presenting for our Career day, please contact Mrs. Cagliero by email tcagliero@pasoschools.org with the time that works best for you.

Our Spirit Wear winner for this week is Maestra Zepeda's class! Great job Maestra Delgado's class!

Maestra Cooper's class won for highest attendance rate this week. Keep up the great work Tigers!

On Friday, our 4th-6th grade students gathered in the library during their lunch time to learn more about Battle of the Books. Ms. Cagliero was thrilled to see such a great turnout and excitement from our readers!

Our online Tiger Store is up and running. Please see the flyer below for more information.
