The PTA has had a busy week! Under the coordination of Ana Paula Alexandrescu, President, and the able assistance of VP Daniela Meyn, they organized a Welcome Breakfast for new parents. It was a delicious success, thanks to Dona Thelma and her staff. Check out the photos.
They did it!
Thank you to breakfast organizers, Ana Paula and Daniela.

At the same time she was organizing the breakfast, Ana Paula has been restructuring the retail division of Escola Americana, aka (also known as) the Little Shop. Her job included reviewing merchandise policies, overseeing construction and putting on the gala inauguration event.

One of the biggest challenges in the restructuring is the merchandise policy. In light of the plans to remodel the Snack Shack and Senior Canteen, Ana Paula sought to find products that were educational and could raise funds. She discovered Webkinz®, which are stuffed animals that come with a secret code. Once the code is typed into the Webkinz® site, “pet owners” gain access to their pet’s room and have the responsibility of taking care of them, an educational and entertaining experience. Ana Paula found a supplier which sells the creatures almost at cost and most of the savings are passed on to EA families.
Mr. Marcelo Englehart, Architect, and Mr. Werner, cut the ribbon.
