SINAIA ...HERE WE COME!




Sinaia is home to the famous Peles Castle of Romania. It's a popular tourist and historical site. The 4th graders traveled there by train and spent a day in the small mountain town. Here are a few glimpses of what it was like!

BUCHAREST BOTANICAL GARDENS


Our Elementary students recently went on a field trip to Bucharest Botanical Garden, here in the city. Our students participate in trips that encourage understanding and learning about Romanian history and culture.

THE 10TH GRADE ENGLISH CLASS POEM

Our love is like a persistent mushroom
It's steady look you cannot ever block
A life without love leads only to doom
In our love account there will always be stock

Even though my brain is small as a pebble
My heart for you is as big as a moose
If love was illegal, I'd be a rebel
If I were a gander, you'd be my goose

I love you just like a fat guy loves fries
For my wounded heart your love is a stitch
You attract me like manure attracts flies
Within your love is where I'll find my niche

Our love soars like a beautiful white dove
Just don't burn this poem my dear only love

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Ms. Opris' 4th graders made gifts for their moms last week. Being in a foreign land, we celebrate a variety of holidays. Mother's Day, a unique American invention, is not celebrated in Romania ...but that doesn't stop us!

THE ADVENTURERS

BCA has a vibrant and exciting Boy Scout program. Here are the guys on a recent "Father and Son" campout! Some of the things they learned was how to use an ax and start a fire. They also practiced wilderness survival skills, such as how to get water from the ground and starting a fire without a match.
