International Night and Visitor from Uruguay

Here at Sage we are always enthusiastic about enrichment in all its forms. As teachers, we strive to expose our students to topics we are passionate about every day. Likewise, as 21st century learners, our students are living in global society where they have increased access to so many topics – often right at their fingertips. Part of our job as educators is to make this enrichment real, applicable, and meaningful.

Sage is committed to helping shape global citizens. We want our students not only to be curious about the world and its people, but to be educated, as well. It is so rewarding to be able to offer such a variety of opportunities and experiences to our students in an effort to open more doors to the world. In addition to recently hosting The Flamenco Dance Project (www.flamencodanceproject.com), we are excited to be sponsoring several exciting opportunities in the coming month.

International Night: Monday, February 13

Sage will be holding our second annual International Night, an evening designed to celebrate the world and our collective cultures. Students and families are invited to come by to sample some tasty international dishes, hear new music, enjoy student performances, and have a great time!

International Visitor dates: February 6 – February 16

Additionally, Jenn Tanner, Sage’s Foreign Language Department Chair and Spanish Teacher, has been selected as a recipient of a fellowship administered by the American Councils for International Education, a division of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (partner organization of the Commission for Educational Exchange – Fulbright Commission) of the U.S. Department of State. This particular grant is an educator exchange. In February, Sage will host an international educator from Uruguay for approximately two weeks. Then, in July, Ms. Tanner will travel to Uruguay for several weeks. The main goals of this exchange are to increase international understanding, and to share teaching techniques and classroom methodology.
