Cultural Immersion

You are invited to our PRE Cultural Immersion Night 2018.  The event will take place on Thursday, October 25, from 5:30pm - 7:00pm.  Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy some multicultural food, fun, and friendship!  Some of the highlights of this exciting evening include Globe Trotting Rotations, a Parade of Nations through our new International Corridor, and a Multicultural Potluck.  Do you have a dish, song, dance or craft that you would like to share with our school community?  If so, Please contact Mrs. Smith at tifsmith@richland2.org or Mrs. Baez at ebaez@richland2.org. You can also complete the Cultural Immersion English Form or the Cultural Immersion Spanish form and send it in to school with your child.  

Polo's diversity is one of the factors that makes it such a special place and Cultural Immersion Night is typically a very fun night and a wonderful opportunity for our families to get together to learn and celebrate each other.  We therefore hope to see you there!

Pathfinder Fitness Challenge

The annual Pathfinder Fitness Challenge (PFC) will be held this Friday, October 12.  The students are excited and have all committed to run and/or walk for a 30 minute period of time on this day.  If you would like to come out and run/walk with your child, please feel free to do so.  If you are not able to run/walk, you can also come out and serve as a cheerleader.  Check with your child's homeroom teacher to verify the time your child will be participating in the PFC.  Please also take a moment to watch this brief video from some of our PRE students who want to share with you (in English and Spanish) a bit more information regarding the PFC. 

 

S.C. State Fair Artists

Congratulations to Jose Lopez-Medina who placed 3rd in the 3-D division and Hailey Frick who received a Merritt Award for her 2-D work of art!  These two students will have their artwork featured at this year's South Carolina State Fair.  Along with the artwork of these students who placed, Polo Road also had some additional pieces of student work selected to be put on display during the fair.  We therefore hope that you will take a moment to stop by and view all artwork while enjoying the fair this year.
