ELE Newsletters

"I would like to dedicate our first newsletter to the great ELE teachers working in our district for their hard work and devotion to all of our children".

-  Dr. Marta Guevara

From the Editor: 

It is an honor for us, teachers and staff, to work with children and teenagers from many parts of the world, to get to know their life stories and their families, their cultures and their dreams, and to teach them, of course, our language(s) and culture(s).  Many of the teachers and support staff in this department have lived a life in which our mission to connect with people, and especially young people from many cultures from around the world, is very pronounced.  Most of us are living a life through which we are trying to bring more understanding and unity to the divided world.  And our children teach us that every day...
