Here in Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over 500 children in at large ranch near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for severely handicapped children. While many children at the ranch have aunts, uncles, or grandparents that come to visit them and can provide some Christmas gifts, some children at a ranch have no family to visit. It is these children whom we would like to provide for this Christmas. On the second floor of the secondary building, a NPH Giving Tree will be set up. Choose a paper tree that has a child’s information about his/her size for shoes or socks. Purchase the new item and return it to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by Tuesday, December 10th, **__with the tree tag taped to it__**. As well, there are tree tags for basic food items that will be donated to the orphanage. Cash donations will also be accepted to provide shoes and socks for children whose tags were not selected. Thank you for giving this Christmas! For more information about NPH’s work in Honduras, please visit http://www.nph-honduras.org/.

** GENERAL ASSEMBLY ** – Discovery School parents are invited to attend the General Assembly that will take place **__this Saturday, August 24 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the School Cafeteria.__** Important matters such as a suggested revision to our school calendar, budget information, an update on the status of the Concrete Plant, Board committees and school-wide implications of MAP data will be addressed. **YOUR ATTENDANCE IS CRUCIAL**—we need a quorum of 1/3 of our parents (55 parents) for the meeting to be considered a legal meeting of our school Association. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending. Believe and Achieve Sports **will be at the school to work with the children while the parents are attending the meeting.** Coffee and juice will be provided. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">** CHOIR AUDITIONS ** – The Choir auditions will take place on Wednesday, August 21 and Thursday, August 22 during Snack Recess (9:45-10:10) in the music room. Students from grades 1-12 who did not audition last year are invited to audition. The students may sing a song of their preference acapella. Students and parents are asked to commit to the whole year’s participation in Choir. **//Our Choir has been invited and has accepted the invitation to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City next summer//**, and practices will be geared to prepare the students for that prestigious event. A schedule of practices will be provided this week. If you have questions, you can contact either Ms. Pamela ( pcruz@discoveryschool.edu.hn ) or Ms. Norma ( nlopez@discoveryschool.edu.hn ) for more information. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> ** MATH REINFORCEMENT: IXL ACCOUNTS **// (for grades Kinder through 5 only) // – Last year our teachers piloted the IXL Math enrichment with our students. Because it was so successful and well received by parents and students, the school has acquired a  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">  subscription to IXL for all students in Grades KG-5. This is an individualized on-line program that reinforces math skills across the curriculum and is aligned to our Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment that we administer to all students in Grades KG-10 three times during the school year. Teachers will post information in their weekly blogs indicating what areas and how much time students should work on IXL during the week. Parents are encouraged to support their children by checking the weekly blogs and having their child complete the practices assigned by each teacher. If you are unclear about any aspect of the IXL, please contact your child’s teacher or the Area Administrator (Nora for KG – Grade 1 nsierra@discoveryschool.edu.hn and Cristiana for Grades 2-5 cbanegas@discoveryschool.edu.hn .  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> ** SCHOOL CAFETERIA ** – for information on the school cafeteria menu and services please visit discoverycafeteria.blogspot.com   <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> ** AFTER-SCHOOL SPORTS PROGRAM – ** Our first session of After-School Activities with Believe and Achieve Sports started today. The sessions will run from 3:15 - 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday, and 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon on Saturday for students from Kindergarten up. During the sessions, students will rotate through different sports, including soccer, basketball, frisbies, golf, American football, and others. Focus is on helping students learn skills, practice teamwork, and have fun, regardless of their current knowledge or skills! <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> · __ TRANSPORTATION __ : The school will follow the practice we have followed over the past several years and provide transportation for the students at the end of the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions in the main part of Tegucigalpa. We will not provide transportation to the outlying areas, such as El Hatillo, Santa Lucia, and the airport. As in the past, there will not be a nanny on the bus; however, the driver will make sure all students are buckled up. We will not provide transportation to any area on Saturday. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> · __ TRANSPORTATION FEE __ : Parents are asked to pay Lmp.100 per month for the bus services if their children are planning to use it on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Lmp.60 per month if they are planning to use it for only one of those days. That can be given to Carolina (Receptionist) or anyone in the Finance Office. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> · __ SIGN-UP FOR SPORTS PROGRAM __ : Sign-up for the sports program is with Mr. Eric Hamm directly. His phone number is 9599-2959. As this is a new program, we may need to make adjustments as we go along, and we will keep you informed of any changes.

YOUR ATTENDANCE IS CRUCIAL—we need a quorum of 1/3 of our parents (55 parents) for the meeting to be considered a legal meeting of our school Association. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending.

The Board of Directors elected last year to repeat the Enrollment Drive again for the 2013-2014 school year, and the term will expire soon.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students are expected to enter the bus, **sit down, buckle the seatbelt, and remain seated**. To safeguard the students, they are not allowed to leave the bus once they have gotten on.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students need to **remain in their seats and use seatbelts for the entire trip**. They are not to be standing until the bus comes to a complete stop at their own house.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students should **keep their arms and legs inside the bus** at all times, and not open or close the windows unless instructed to do so by the nanny
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Shouting is not allowed** on the bus. Students need to speak using a **quiet 'indoor' voice** and talk only with the student seated beside them.

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students are expected to **treat other students, the bus nanny, and the driver with respect**. **Name-calling, foul language, or obscene gestures, shoving, kicking, and teasing are not allowed** on the bus.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students s**hould not throw garbage, papers, or any other objects in or outside of the bus**

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Second Offense** : Conference with Transportation Supervisor, and parents notified
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Third Offense** : Loss of bus privileges for one to three days; parents notified; notation in student's file
