Summer school was sponsored by BMA and Centro Cultural for another year with an ecology theme.
This week's theme was Yo Soy de Bahia Matanchen. Each day we explored the history, people, waterways plants and animals of our area, exploring what it means to know where you live and who you are. The week culminated with the message that we can all mean something to this place.
We can be everyday-heroes that help Bahia Matanchen grow beautifully and wisely. Each child created an emblem with a symbol that represented what was important to them. Everyone agrees that heroes help people and the planet. The kids each received a colorful satin cape with the emblem of their design. Petra sewed 121 capes - truly a super-woman feat! The kids were more than happy to be recognized as heroes.
Marta was a marvel of enthusiasm and energy as a teacher. Her niece, Anni and our Lizzy were also part of the teaching team. Barb came to the rescue to glue the emblems on each cape. Thank you to the heroes and heroines who helped: Leon, Jorge, the librarians, the moms and dads, the yoginis of the Centro Cultural and to our supporters who helped finance the program.
