ANNUAL FUND FOR EFAM

With the FUNDays that took place earlier this month, we have passed a new milestone with 87% of the annual donation goal already reached.

Our two most generous benefactors will have their names painted on one of the beautiful flower murals made by the students and receive a voucher to enjoy a dinner for two at Nobu Miami Beach, courtesy of the Horwell Family. Eight other families that made significant donations will also have their names added to these artworks.

The next fundraiser events will be a raffle, the sale of school photos and no uniform days in the upcoming months.

Thank you again for supporting the EFAM academic model.


 
 

The photoshoots have already started in both campuses.

Please find here the calendar of photoshoots for next week —->

Reminders will be sent to the parents by email prior to each date, so the students can wear the mandatory red polo shirt.

The dates of the sale are still to be confirmed.


SAT

SATs WILL BE CONDUCTED FOR 4TH AND 5TH GRADE STUDENTS FROM MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28 TO FRIDAY, MARCH 4.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE IN THE SUCCESS OF THIS IMPORTANT TEST.


DR. SEUSS DAY

As part of National Reading Month (March), EFAM will be celebrating the birthday of Dr. Seuss on Wednesday, March 2, 2022 by wearing wacky socks!

Dr. Seuss was an American children's author best known for his books to help children read such as: The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, The Lorax, Horton Hears a Who, and The Grinch.

STUDENTS will be doing many fun Seuss-inspired activities, read books, and share our love for reading with one another.

We are inviting everyone to wear their cozy, wacky, or mismatched socks to school on Wednesday!
