Start Of Summer Vacation at Roosevelt Elementary School In California, USA

It's the end of the school year for our pen pals at Roosevelt Elementary School in California, USA. They have sent us a letter saying goodbye and telling us about their summer plans. We've enjoyed the art work we have received that show symbols about summer. We were delighted with our collaboration throughout the school year. The experience has really helped us strengthen our reading and writing skills. Learning has become authentic, exciting, and more vivid! We've made more cherished memories and many more new friends.

Thank you Ms. Robbie Christensen for giving us the chance to see what school life is in a different culture and we're looking forward to hearing from you next school year...

Have a wonderful summer vacation!

Beach Clean- Up Day With 'Cedars' Organization

Lebanon's President Michel Sleiman and Prime Minister Saad El- Hariri

Prime Minister Saad El- Hariri with our young clovers.

Beach Clean- Up Day

Lebanese Army soldiers and environmental campaigners participated in a global day to raise awareness about the importance of keeping beaches clean, so that everyone can enjoy them.
President Michel Sleiman and Prime Minister Saad El-Hariri attended the launching of the “Big Blue” cleaning station at Ramlet al-Baida.They also met a group of participating Army and volunteer divers. The project is organized in cooperation between Environment and Youth and Sports ministries and the local municipalities. Hundreds of volunteers removed rubbish from more than 70 beaches along Lebanon’s seashore. School and university students also participated including volunteers from the Civil Defense.
We, at KSPS, have also volunteered and headed out to help keep our beaches clean and enjoy our beautiful land.
So beach clean up continues....Lebanon has very beautiful beaches that need to be taken care of. We truly hope we don't need to clean- up anymore!!!
Big thank you to 'Cedars' organization and especially to Mrs. Iffat Shatila. And of course, a special thank you to the parents who volunteered with their children and helped at the event...

Our drawings on Voicethread

During our environmental awareness week, various projects tackling different important issues related to the environment were done at school by students. One of these projects that students have enjoyed working on was "Recycling Batteries." It proved to be a very crucial project that students gained a lot of information. The project passed through several stages before its final completion. First, students gathered information and read a lot about it. Then they worked in groups. Every group focused on an aspect of the project. They prepared drawings and posters and displayed them on bulletin boards. Students also piled all their work in a class book about batteries. In accordance to our choosing this project, we joined a Lebanese environmental organization called Beeatoona. We contacted them once we had collected a big number of unused batteries and e- waste. They were very elated when they found out about the amount of work done and presented us with awards in recognition to our active environmental effort.

Big Thank You to Miss Sabah Wazzan and Miss Rana Lawand
