Estimados padres de la ABC:
Espero que, por el Boletín Semanal ABC o por hablar con sus hijos, ustedes están bien
enterados del evento tan importante que está por llevarse a cabo – la primera CARRERA
POR SOBREVIVENCIA. Este es un gran evento para recaudar fondos y tomar
conciencia y para demostrar el compromiso que tiene la comunidad ABC hacia la
supervivencia y el bienestar de los niños en El Salvador.
La CARRERA POR SOBREVIVENCIA (sábado, 14 de noviembre de 8:30 a.m. – 12:30
p.m.) esto incluye lo siguiente:
a 28 vueltas en la competencia de relevos de tribus en el campo de la escuela
(cada estudiante solo correrá 2 vueltas)
Cada tribu (Azteca, Inca, Maya, Pipiles) tendrá 28 estudiantes corriendo en el
relevo
Otros juegos divertidos y competencias entre tribus – así es una oportunidad para
un niño representar a su tribu
Una carrera de 2.8 km para alumnos individuales o corredores adultos – ¡así es
que Padres también vengan con su equipo deportivo!
Crear conciencia y fondos para hospitales locales para las salas de neonatales
Comida, música, presentaciones, premios
Y como ultimo punto, ¡la comunidad de la ABC se congrega para enviar un
mensaje que esta comprometida (junto con la Organización de Save the Children)
con la sobrevivencia infantil en El Salvador!
La razón del número 28 es que un bebé recién nacido es más vulnerable durante sus
primeros 28 días y en El Salvador esto es cuando una gran cantidad de recién nacidos
pierden la vida. También, según Save the Children, 28% de las muertes infantiles en El
Salvador son debido a los bebés que nacen prematuramente. ¡Nuestra CARRERA POR
SOBREVIVENCIA aumentará la conciencia, recaudará fondos y significativamente
ayudará a evitar estas perdidas!
Por favor animen a su hijo/s a inscribirse para que participe en la carrera de 28 vueltas de
la competencia de relevos de su tribu. (a la actual CARRERA POR SOBREVIVENCIA) y
tal vez la carrera de 2,8 km también. Los estudiantes que se inscriban para correr
mediante el formulario de Google que Mr Rombout les envió por correo electrónico
(http://goo.gl/forms/HSX4gcQlqI), también la tribu ganara puntos
Ya sea que su hijo corra o no en la carrera, se les pide a los padres que por favor traigan
a su familia a nuestra primera CARRERA POR SOBREVIVENCIA, el sábado, 14 de
noviembre y participen en este evento histórico en la ABC, que realmente debe mostrar
nuestro compromiso con la sobrevivencia infantil en El Salvador!
Dearest ABC parents,
I hope that, from the ABC weekly and/or talking to your child, you are well aware of the
important event that is on the horizon – the ABC’s first RACE FOR SURVIVAL. This is a
major event to raise awareness and funds and to show the ABC community’s commitment
to the survival and wellbeing of infants in El Salvador.
The RACE FOR SURVIVAL (Saturday 14th November 8.30am – 12.30pm) includes the
following:
a 28 lap tribal competition relay on the school field (each student will only have to
run 2 laps)
each tribe (Aztec, Inca, Maya, Pipil) will have 28 students running in the relay
other fun games and tribal completions – so an opportunity for child to represent
his or her tribe
a 2.8 km race for individual student or adult runners - so parents wear your
running gear!
raising awareness and funds for local hospitals’ neonatal wards
food, music, performance, awards
ultimately the ABC community assembling together to send out the message that
we are committed (along with Save the Children) to the survival of infants in El
Salvador!
The reason for the number 28 is that a new-born baby is most vulnerable during its first 28
days and in El Salvador this is when a large proportion of babies lose their lives. Also,
according to Save the Children, 28% of infant deaths in El Salvador are due to the babies
being born prematurely. Our RACE FOR SURVIVAL will increase awareness, raise funds
and significantly help to prevent such loses!
Please encourage your child to sign up to run in the actual 28 lap tribal competition relay
(the actual RACE FOR SURVIVAL) and perhaps the 2.8km race as well. Students that
sign up to run using the google form that Mr Rombout emailed
(http://goo.gl/forms/HSX4gcQlqI) will gain a tribal point too.
Whether or not you child is running in the race, parents please bring your family to our first
RACE FOR SURVIVAL on Saturday 14th November and participate in this historic event at
the ABC that should really show our commitment to infant survival in El Salvador!

Say no to gossip and bullying. Say yes to friendship
Dear Parents,
Grade 8 boys and girls were separated for their most recent lifeskills lesson. We focused on building positive relationships and respect. We discussed the following issues: gossiping, bullying, hitting, name calling and hormones.
Parents, please help us by talking to your child/children about having respect for all people and being nice to everybody, even those who aren't in their immediate friend circle. Hormones can be a difficult thing to understand and deal with but does not excuse bad behaviour towards others.
Grade 8 are a wonderful year group and I would like all to get on with each other and build on friendships and become closer during this year. Let's build on positive friendships. Be KIND, be NICE, be YOUR BEST.

Hello to you all,
Students spent a life skills lesson on 'What makes Us All Human?'. We looked at citizenship and the backgrounds and lives of many famous people. They discussed their similarities as well as their differences. The students presented their work and reflected upon the fact we are all human, we all have feelings and we need to have and show respect to everybody.
