- The SAIL Staff would like to recognize Suzie Sheeran as "Best Intern Ever!" for her dedication and devotion to the students in the SAIL classroom. Suzie has been an intern since September. In that time, she has facilitated a Jawsome, participated in the concert with our students and led all sorts of activities including arts and crafts, cooking, baking, and other daily living and pre-vocational activities with the students. She has truly gotten to know each and every student and has developed positive, life long friendships with them. These are some of our favorite pictures with Suzie!
At the end of December, taking advantage of his holiday trip to explore the United States, Colombian student Carlos Juan Durán visited our school and participated in the regular schedule of a ninth-grade student for two days. During his visit, he made many friends and was impressed by the abundance of resources and organization at our school.
Carlos Juan (CJ, as his family and friends call him) lives in the beautiful historical city of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. When it was time to join Profe Berbeo's Spanish II class, CJ was interviewed in Spanish by the students with questions related to his personality and preferences. Later, an English conversation unfolded, where he openly answered questions about schools and life in Colombia, his hobbies, and opinions on various topics. Finally, the last day of his visit was his birthday, so students took the opportunity to sing "Happy Birthday" in Spanish to their new international pal.
CJ's involvement with Monomoy did not end with his visit. Last week, CJ connected via video conference from his town to one of our Spanish III Honors classes. The students had an entertaining conversation with him; he answered questions that everyone asked in Spanish and English, and based on the conversation, the students created a drawing and a composition about his likes and personality.
This has been a unique experience for CJ, who sent this message to everyone at the school:
"Monomoy Regional High School gave me a new experience in my life. Here in Colombia, I attend a school where the educational model is very different; those two days I spent there were among the best days of my vacation in the United States. I would like to thank Boden Mabile for showing me how things are in school, for helping me make friends, and for making my experience memorable.
Thanks to everyone who was with me and made me feel included. I would like to stay in touch with everyone in case I can come back someday, I'm sure I will. Thank you very much to the Principal, Mrs. Police, for temporarily accepting me into the school. Thanks to everyone for everything; you will be in my memories forever." - Carlos Juan
Prof. Berbeo is so happy and proud of our school and the kindness of all our students and staff. "Experiences like this give meaning to the work I do. It's not just about teaching Spanish but building relationships, leveraging the language to grow, seizing opportunities, enriching our knowledge of other cultures, and creating connections around the world. Thanks to CJ and thanks to all my students for their kindness, enthusiasm, and for motivating me every day. I am here for and because of you". - Profe.
