Spring Break Is Here! From Kristin Scotchmer

Dear Mundo Verde Parents/Caregivers

Warmer weather and Spring Break are here!

You all have been busy and working hard. Whether traveling or staying close to home, I encourage you to take some time to engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Take the opportunity to care for you and your family mental, emotional and physical well-being.

Some of our staff take time during this break to recharge; others use the time to help focus on important work needed to end the year strong or get ahead on planning for summer and fall. For families, my hope is that even if you are not able to pause this coming week, that you have a chance to simply enjoy your child/ren in a different way.

The next eight and a half weeks of school are packed with learning and celebration:

  • Expos showcase student spring expedition work,

  • Coffees provide time for parents to connect with each other and principals,

  • 4th graders camp overnight in Nature Bridge,

  • 5th graders put their Spanish language and sustainability expertise to work with an expedition to Puerto Rico,

  • Parents/caregivers connect with teachers through Student-Led and Parent-Teacher Conferences,

  • A school-wide field day engages students in cooperative and team games, and

  • A promotion ceremony honoring the Class of 2023 - Mundo Verde’s 7th class of 5th graders! as they transition from 5th grade to middle school!

Spring break is also a time to reflect on the year. I am grateful for the work of parents/caregivers, board members, teachers, staff and students, each of whom works hard to make our school community better every day. It is with the commitment of each individual in our community that we improve and continue growing. As we look forward to the new school year, please take a moment to complete the re-enrollment process.

In Community,
Kristin Scotchmer
