Dear ACS Community,
For those of you with children in the secondary school, you will be well aware that last week was our classroom without walls week. For those of you in the elementary school, you may be less familiar with this week of trips. This year, the focus was learning about Bolivia, and the 6th through 12th grades went to the following destinations: Lake Titicaca, Coroico, Sucre and Potosi, the salt flats, the missions, Madidi, and Toro Toro. The vast majority of our students traveled, but for those who could not travel, a robust local program saw students participating in internships and other distinct learning opportunities. Each year we have improved the trips by learning from the previous years.
Of course, the trips would not be possible without the hard work of many people. I want to give a big thanks to all the faculty chaperones who looked after the students throughout the week. In addition, I would like to say a special thanks to Dr. Ann Peterson and Carolina Soliz in the secondary office for their tireless efforts to organize the trips. Ms. Soliz, in particular, took the lead in improving the overall organization of the process.
Thank you to everyone involved for making this impactful experience possible for our students.
Have a great week ahead.
Yours,
Andrew
