Qué pasa

Tuesday, May 7, 2024 our grade five students performed at the Jubilee Auditorium in Qué pasa, the Spanish Bilingual Program Fine Arts Gala. Our students sang and danced in a wonderfully choreographed musical number complete with instruments, props and costumes. Their hard work certainly paid off as many parents and other audience members commented that the performance was well-done, energetic and powerful. Also, they were impressed by the intricate choreography performed by the over 50 grade five students. Our students themselves were pleased with their performance. They exited the stage wreathed in happy smiles and excited faces.

We congratulate our grade five students, Sra. Cotton, Sra. Olivella, Sra. McKenzie
and Sra. Vargas on a job well-done. We are especially grateful to our parent
volunteers who assisted us at the Jubilee Auditorium for the entire day. We
couldn't have done it without them. ¡Muchas gracias!

¡¡Felicitaciones
para nuestros alumnos de 5to grado y el equipo de Qué pasa! ¡El show fue todo
un éxito!
