All Nations Community School

Big smiles over here this week about our new iPads getting issued out to middle school-high school students for Digital Art! Thank you so much for the incredible support from parents for our students’ art fundraiser! You made our new purchases possible! Thank you again to @thewoodlandsartscouncil for the Dr. David Gottlieb Microgrant! Your support makes a difference for getting arts out into the community! #middleschoolart #arts #arteducation #digitalart

Last night the track and field meet finished pretty late! It was about 48 degrees and everyone was tired. But what great team spirit and sportsmanship we witnessed! We are so proud of our team for sticking it out at their first meet! #ancsfalcons #goallnations #trackteam #trackandfield #middleschoolsports

At our first Track and Field Mini Meet! Thank you @thejohncooperschool for hosting this fun event! GO ALL NATIONS!! #ancsfalcons #middleschool #trackteam #trackandfield

We just love how creative our teachers are! Mrs. Cossick did a “genre tasting” with G1-2. The whole classroom was set up like a restaurant/bakery, with French music playing in the background, no less! She greeted them outside, dressed up with an apron and adopted her best French accent, the classroom door shut off secretively! They were ushered in and “served” their “tastings” at each table, rotating to get s full sampler of each genre. SO much fun! 😍😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #creativeteachers #excellenceinteaching #excellentteacher #elementaryschool #provateschools #literacy #reading #loveofreading #loveoflearning

More congratulations are in order! Titus P. won Honorable Mention in Animal Science at the Science and Engineering Fair of Houston and is advancing to State Level!

*PLUS* he and Jay H. both won a Special Award! The Special Awards are given by individual professional organizations who provide their own criteria, judges, and prizes.

Titus is a recipient of the Smiti Gandhi Junior Research Star Award for exceptional research in a STEM field.

Julian “Jay” earned 2nd place, Junior Division, from the American Society of Indian Engineers and Architects, which includes a cash award of $250. Congrats to our students for these outstanding achievements in their very first Science Fair!

Thank you to those community sponsors and individuals who put in the time to interview and judge so many hundreds of students. Heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Welty, our outstanding middle school Science teacher who guided and mentored them throughout the process and held them to the highest standards!! Go, All Nations!

What a spectacular afternoon for our independent reading in Spanish B! #heritagespanish #heritagespeakers #readingoutdoors #privateschools #thewoodlandstx

When you are doing Crazy Moustache Day but also are wearing masks all day, you get creative! 😂👍🏼🥸😆 #drseuss #crazymoustacheday #dualimmersion #elementaryschool

We are so proud of our wonderful bilingual Art Teacher Maestra Dehaquiz, who was awarded a Woodlands Arts Council Dr. David Gottlieb Microgrant in support of our new offerings in Digital Art! Our iPads and Apple Pencils from our grant have now arrived! We can’t wait to get started with our students on a community-focused set of projects for building a more inclusive society. Thank you ever so much to @thewoodlandsartscouncil for your support of the Arts in our area. #microgrant #thewoodlandstx #woodlandsartscouncil #arteducation #digitalart

Woohoo it’s Spirit Night! Don’t forget that you have dinner plans covered tonight!! Eat at Panera 4-8pm and mention our school fundraiser! 😍👏🏼👍🏼 #panera #spiritnight #schoolspirit

Grades PK-4th started a new Buddy Program! Once a month they will get together with their Buddy to read, share writing, play games, and more - in both languages. The older students are paired with younger friends, so that they learn to mentor and encourage others. This week we started off with icebreaker type games in English and Spanish! It was so much fun and we look forward to seeing the mentoring relationships they will build. #buddies #privateschools #thewoodlandstx #internationalschools #mentoring #dualimmersion

And, they’re set up! We have three middle schoolers presenting tomorrow at the Science and Engineering Fair of Houston. Wish them luck! #sciencefair #scienceandengineering #middleschool #houstontx

We have been having so much fun at #trackteam #running #trackandfield #middleschool #middleschoollife #teamsports #schoolspirit #ancsfalcons 😍😍😍👏🏼👏🏼

Middle school Art Class is doing a project where they are designing and painting their own shoes. The range of individual styles and the depth of creativity these kids have is lovely to see. Expression through creative endeavors is incredibly important for mental health, cognitive development, and stimulation of creative/critical thinking in other, seemingly “unrelated” areas of study! #artclass #creativeexpression #middleschool #artislife

Our teachers recently attended a local professional conference for Christian schools. Three ANCS teachers - Mrs. Welty, Dr. Puig and Mr. Michalik - also presented their own sessions to teachers in attendance, sharing their successful classroom practices to help other teachers develop their skills. We are so proud of our ANCS faculty for their excellence in teaching, as well as for their heart for reaching out to the community and sharing their experience and knowledge. #excellenceinteaching #excellentteachers #community #service #teachingandlearning

Never judge a book by its cover! Our very youngest Track Team member had to leave early and missed the group pic (but it won’t be the last, not to worry!)…so we need to take a moment to feature him separately! Because he got the *second FASTEST 400m time* at our time trials! 👏🏼👏🏼 First place was only ahead by a scant second! 😱👏🏼Go, Seyeram! 👏🏼Watch out, middle school rivals out there! All Nations is coming for you! 😆💪🏼💪🏼 #goallnations #ancsfalcons #trackteam #running #middleschool

Run like the wind! 🌬Our brand-new MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK TEAM held their first practice today! They ran trial 100s and 400s, practiced “falling” into a run, and did their first baton drills. Whew! We finished with tired legs but tons of team spirit and camaraderie! Go, All Nations! #trackteam #running #middleschool #privateschools #thewoodlandstx

Kindness Week continues! Some of our students have left the sweetest notes around campus - on teachers’ doors, along the hallways, even in the bathrooms! So encouraging and kind. #kindness #kindnessweek #loveyourneighbor

Our new magnetic poetry set in Spanish is a hit in G3-4! Playing with words is a fun but difficult challenge when you have to build the words, make them agree, and use ONLY what is there! 😅👏🏼 #magneticpoetry #spanishclass #dualimmersion

We are thrilled to have Dr. Joyce A. Carroll visiting our G8-9 ELA class this week to talk about ROMEO AND JULIET. National writing expert with more than six decades in education, her animated and knowledgeable presence in the classroom is extraordinary. What a gift to ANCS she is! #education #writing #ela #englishclass #shakespeare #teacher #masterteacher

Happy Kindness Week! We started Community Time this morning with the story of the Good Samaritan, followed by a visit from Houston Welcomes Refugees, to tell us about how our great city is opening its arms to the thousands of refugees from Central Asia/Afghanistan and what WE can do to help. #kindnessmatters #valentinesday #kindness @houstonwelcomesrefugees

Just a quick reminder or notice to any families who may not have seen their email! Stay safe and warm and we expect to reopen on Monday.

More Global School Play Day snapshots! When you have played hard all day and are super tired it helps to have a big brother around to carry you!😍 #gspd2022 #globalschoolplayday #globalschoolplayday2022

More fun pictures from today's #GlobalSchoolPlayDay! If we're being honest, our teachers were a little bit nervous about how this day of unstructured play would go. But what a JOY it was to watch ALL our students, from PreK to 9th grade, play together, get creative, share toys they brought from home, interact with teachers outside the classroom, and just enjoy the gift of play. We can't wait for next year!

Our 2022 Global School Play Day is underway!! Joining over 1M children from dozens of countries in an ENTIRE day of unstructured (supervised) free play! Dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of unstructured time for children’s healthy development. #gspd2022 #globalschoolplayday #internationalschools
