Dear Families,
We had a successful week back at school with additional students! Students
followed our protocols and were thoughtful and safe. Our upper school students were tested for COVID on Monday and Thursday and everyone came back negative. We will continue this process with upper school students and expand our testing capacity to JK-5.
I encourage families to take advantage of our in-school COVID testing JK-8. It is quick and convenient. Students self-administer a painless nasal swab, which will be supervised by Nurse Tamara and/or our health aide, Nadrine.
You can find more specific information related to student testing and the consent forms here.
This year Friends of Amigos (FOA) will be holding its first ever Health & Wellness Fair on May 1st! We are asking for anyone with expertise in one of
these areas - dance, art, nutrition, mindfulness- that is interested in presenting in either English and/or Spanish to please reach out to FOA by
3/19. We would love to have you host a session and share!
It is that time of year... time for more Amigos “Merch” at Mercado de Amigos!!
If you have been hoping for some new gear maybe an Amigos baseball cap
or some cozy sweatpants, NOW is the perfect time. As before we also have
bags, stickers, popsockets and coffee mugs.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Sarah Bartels-Marrero
Principal
Estimadas Familias,
¡Hemos tenido una exitosa semana de regreso a la escuela con nuestros
estudiantes adicionales! Los estudiantes siguieron los protocolos y estuvieron atentos y seguros. Los estudiantes de la escuela intermedia tomaron la prueba de COVID el lunes y el jueves y todos salieron negativos. Vamos a continuar este proceso con los estudiantes de la escuela intermedia y ampliar nuestra capacidad de pruebas a JK-5.
Animo a las familias a aprovechar nuestra prueba de COVID en la escuela JK-8. Es rápido y conveniente. Los estudiantes se auto administran un hisopo nasal y serán supervisados por la enfermera Tamara y/o nuestra ayudante de salud, Nadrine. Ustedes pueden encontrar más información específica relacionada con las pruebas estudiantiles y los formularios de consentimiento aquí.
Este año Friends of Amigos (FOA) celebrará su primera Feria de Salud y
Bienestar el 1 de mayo. Estamos pidiendo a cualquier persona con
experiencia en una de estas áreas - baile, arte, nutrición, mindfulness - que
está interesado en presentar, ya sea en inglés y / o español por favor ponerse en contacto con FOA antes del 19 de marzo. Nos encantaría que organizaran una sesión y la compartieran.
¡Es la época del año para más "Merch" de Amigos en el Mercado de Amigos! Si usted ha estado queriendo algo nuevo, tal vez una gorra de béisbol Amigos o algunos pantalones deportivos y acogedores, AHORA es el momento perfecto. Como antes también tenemos bolsas, pegatinas, popsockets y tazas de café.
¡Que tengan un buen fin de semana!
Sinceramente,
Sarah Bartels-Marrero

National Nutrition Month:
Lower Cost Healthy Eating!
Did
you know that canned fruits, vegetables, and beans are just as healthy
as fresh ones? Did you know that frozen fruits and vegetables are good
for you, too? Canned and frozen foods are just as good for our bodies,
taste great and last longer so you don’t have to worry about them going
bad and wasting money! Buy canned vegetables that are low-sodium or have
no added salt and canned fruits in light syrup or water for the
healthiest options. Buy frozen fruits with no added sugars. Buy frozen
vegetables that aren’t in sauces, which are likely to be high in salt
and saturated fats. From your friends at Cambridge in Motion, a
program of the Cambridge Public Health Department, in collaboration with
CPS Food & Nutrition Services.
- Visit Central Square’s NEW low cost, non-profit grocery store The Daily Table where customers save an average of 30% on groceries. Everything
in the store is SNAP eligible. Customers paying with SNAP get an
additional 50% off fresh produce through the Double Up Food Bucks
Program, up to $10/day.
- Food Resources for Cambridge Residents (pantries, community meals, food box delivery options, school meals, meals on wheels, etc.) in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Amharic, and Mandarin.
Healthy Snack of the Week
Here's Cambridge in Motion's Healthy Snack of the Week:
Sliced Hard Boiled Egg on Whole Grain Toast: Try spicing this up with a sprinkle of paprika, dill or basil!
