In memoriam

 We are devastated by the loss of a highly valued colleague and a very dear friend. 

Paul Herron Campos was an inspiring teacher, a lover of life and a true bookworm and, as such, he was one of the first teachers to run a book club in our school. In tribute to him, we invite you to read the first book he chose for a book club meeting, one of his all-time favorite stories: The Brooklyn Follies, by Paul Auster.

Paul Herron's charm, enthusiasm and generosity will be missed greatly. Rest in peace, dear Paul. 

World Poetry Day

In 1999, UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) designated March 21 as World Poetry Day with the aim of celebrating one of humanity’s most treasured forms of cultural and linguistic expression and identity.

We've designed and used this worksheet to help students be aware of why poetry matters.

Long Live Poetry!

Tales of the Unexpected

 Once again, it's been a privilege to share the reading of a fine novel with you all. Your impressions of The Chidren Act have been so enlightening! I particularly enjoyed your analysis of Fiona and her complex role as a judge confronting “the abyss of freedom” or Life at its purest.

The next book we’ll be reading is perhaps less complex but it is equally enthralling. Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected is a collection of stories that will amuse, amaze and even terrify you.

 We have picked the following five tales and will discuss their significance on April, 22nd:

• "Dip in the Pool"
• "Lamb to the Slaughter"
• "Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel's Coat"
• "Parson's Pleasure"
• "The Way Up To Heaven"

Remember that participation is limited to the first 18 students who sign up here.

Hope to see you on April 22nd at 6:30 pm in the library (Sar). Happy reading!
