Oscar's Adventures In India

Oscar in DPS Bargalore North
India, the colorful country!
Oscar enjoying delicious mangoes.



Oscar, the teddy bear who is traveling around the world to meet new friends, had a wonderful time in India and learned a lot about the Indians' traditions and culture. He sat with puppets, did yoga, and had delicious food with his friends. He learned about fibers and was the judge at a painting exhibition. He was also very happy to visit the Butterfly Garden and to learn how to plant trees.
Now Oscar is on his way to our beloved country, "LEBANON". We can't wait to meet him and tell him about our school and country.
Oscar, we wish you a safe flight!!! See you soon :)

Sheepdog Trials: Sunset Elementary School, Colorado


A day at the Meeker Classic Championship Sheepdog Trials in Meeker, Colorado

Our friends from Sunset Elementary School in Craig, Colorado USA have spent a day at the Meeker Classic Championship Sheepdog Trials in Meeker, Colorado and shared with us this video. The Meeker Classic Championship Sheepdog Trials are held in Meeker, Colorado, every year. Handlers come from all around the world to compete. There are lots of sheep raised in their area and the ranchers use border collies to herd the sheep. They learned all about sheep, the dogs, and the contest in school then traveled to the trials for a firsthand experience. Our friends have also promised to put together a digital story that tells more about it for us!
Mrs. Cheryl Arnett, we are really so excited to work on joint projects for the second year and we wish you all the best for the new school year. THANK YOU
