Lists are complete and will be emailed home to parents. The lists are attached to this newsletter and they are displayed on the notice board by front entrance to the school. Teachers have a copy and they will display them in their rooms. If your child has signed up for an activity with a fee, please pay this by week 2. Once again, please encourage your child to commit to the activity for the whole trimester. I have attached the Elementary and Middle School/High School lists.
Capoeira is one of the ASA activities we offer at ISD The importance of Capoeira for youth is not only in the historical and cultural content, but it also helps to develop physical qualities like: force, speed, muscular strength, balance and motor coordination. It can also help to develop the potential of each individual in their ability to learn in school and have a positive influence on their life in general. The richness of content that the practice of Capoeira develops includes personal and social growth. It has been affirmed that Capoeira can greatly contribute to the positive transformation of youth. The amusement of Capoeira awakens the artistic, musical and creative aspects of the youth whom might participate in this art form. Capoeira is one of the best ways for children to develop mind, body and strength. In addition to the benefits listed, it helps to build their personalities through self-expression in a fun and playful way, and the musical aspect makes them more comfortable and more willing to exercise kids. Kids love and grow with challenge, and Capoeira gives it to them in a positive way. TRAORE . A.IBRAHIM Capoeira teacher
