CALENDAR:                                                                   

NUEVA ACRÓPOLIS:  Our symphonic band took advantage of the opportunity to play in a real theater with great acoustics. They represented us well in a nearly full theater. Congratulations to the students and their teacher, Anne Cochenour.

CUSCO: Please remember that September 18 and 19 are the days to pay the $642 for the trip to Cusco. The agent will be available in the Roosevelt Room from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on those days.  Tickets will be purchased on the 20th for the group and squads will be determined.  There is no school Thursday and Friday. On Monday students will start meeting during ATL time based on the squad and teacher who will be a small group in Cusco.  Tickets and placement in squads

will be based on those students who pay on Monday and Tuesday.  We can not guarantee that students who decide later to go on the trip will be able to do so or that they will be grouped with the students of their choice.  Thank you for making your decision about the trip in a timely way.

 ADCA ART:  Art work from many of our middle schoolers was on display at Colegio Raimondi during the ADCA Art Festival. If you missed it we will have middle school art work on display during conferences the week of October 9-13. Congratulations to all those who had work displayed and to MS art teachers María Teresa Podestá and Rosa María del Busto.

WATERSPORTS PROGRAM VICTORIES: Congratulations to Gianni Porcari for winning the Windsurfing sub 15 division title competing against windsurfers from Yacht Club Ancon and Club de Regatas Lima for the title.  In the same competition, Hee Chae Chon took first in the beginners division.  Great job boys!  More information is available at
