Estimados Padres de Familia, reciban un cordial saludo.

En busca de una educación integral, donde el crecimiento personal y la integración con sus compañeros y maestros juega un papel importante, el Colegio quiere invitar a su hijo(a) a compartir en el espacio de una Convivencia Anual.

En este espacio se reunirán los compañeros de curso, el (la) acompañante (John Fredy Castro para 6C y Alba Pico para 6D), la psicóloga y los guías de la Fundación Ruah. Ellos orientarán este encuentro en el cual se realizarán las actividades que proporcionarán vivencias interesantes y de reflexión.

La convivencia se realizará el día 7 de Abril, en el Parque Guaymaral ubicado en la Autopista Norte No. 224-80 costado oriental. Saldremos a las 7:30am y el regreso al colegio será a las 2:40pm, para volver a casa en la ruta habitual.

Es necesario que los estudiantes lleven ropa de cambio. Quienes no toman el servicio de almuerzo y regrigerio del colegio deben llevarlo de su casa.

La inversión será de $50.000 por estudiante.  Este cobro será incluido en el próximo recibo de pago con previa autorización firmada por ustedes.

La actividad es de carácter voluntario, quienes no asistan recibirán clase en el colegio.

Cordialmente,

[firmado]
