Open House—Parents’ Night
A parent wrote--
Congratulations on the Open House. it's the first time in all the years we've been here that I and my husband feel so happy being at an event. We loved it!. We liked that they highlighted that values are being taught, and about Colombia and the reality we're living now. We enjoyed the event very much.
