This summer, a group of Carlos Rosario School team members traveled to the area of the Bajo Lempa in El Salvador to provide support to local organization Voices on the Border! The team was led by Sheryl Sherwin and Lindsey Crifasi, teachers at the School and board members to Voices on the Border, as well as an administrator and two student services counselors of the School. School staff and faculty have personally been involved with Voices on the Border for the last four years.
We are excited to have such invested team members who have learned about the culture and history of El Salvador, where a large population of the School comes from. This relationship allows for the exchange of ideas with Bajo Lempa educators and community members.

What better way to celebrate National Arts in Education Week than to take advantage of the rich cultural institutions in DC! The morning ESL Arts class students visited the National Gallery of Art and examined two pieces of art: “The Farm” by Joan Miro and then Picasso’s” Family of Saltimbanques.” They also did thinking routines that included drawing and writing. The evening ESL Arts students attended an event called, “Evenings at the Edge." This event had a party atmosphere with music, dance, food and drink, art classes, and art demonstration.
