Today was the first official school day for our Brazil delegation. They arrived at our sister-school at 7 am (quite a bit earlier than our customary Dallas start-time) and were met by a huge crowd of enthusiastic and welcoming students and teachers. There was also a huge banner welcoming the group to Brazil! Our delegation was overwhelmed and overjoyed! Each of the students introduced herself to the crowd and said a few words of gratitude for the warm welcome.
The delegation enjoyed some time at the school's cafe (this group is definitely eating well) and then they went on a tour of the school. Two student ambassadors, Victor and Ligia, guided the tour. We were all delighted to learn that Colegio Santa Ursula recently started an Ambassador program based on our Ambassador program in Dallas - so nice to share this idea with our sister school! During the tour, our group learned about the history of Colegio Santa Ursula as well as the Montessori curriculum that is a critical part of the lower school.
In the afternoon, students attended classes with their host sisters. They each report that they are having a wonderful time in Brazil. Over the weekend, in addition to attending the Festa Junina, some of our students attended a soccer game with their hosts. Additionally, some are planning to attend a volleyball game tonight while others will be "hanging out" with their host families. Indeed, all is excellent in Brazil!!
