Italian Language Summer Camps - Mill Valley

The new Italian language and cultural immersion camp  is open to kids between ages 3 and 9 and children between 10 and 14 who have a passion for Italy. It is a great opportunity to learn a new foreign language with highly educated, native speaker teachers. In this two to four week full-immersion Italian camp, students will learn Italian through interactive activities such as music, dance and videography.
Participants will also learn about various aspects of Italian life, history and culture and they will be stimulated to speak Italian during the two-hour sessions. Studenti will leave with a better understanding of la bella lingua & la vita italiana.

It has been officially presented in Barcelona the nomination of the Mediterranean diet as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.\

The application will be drawn up collectively by Italy, Spain, Greece and Morocco, through working groups that will investigate the different cultural, historical, food and social reasons as well as productivity and landscape aspects that justify it's admission by the UN. The dossier will be closely examined by UNESCO, which, by the end of 2009, will reveal his decisions.

Dear Girotondo Italian School Families and Friends

We are thrilled to have some very significant new announcements regarding our current and future expansion and class offerings.

Firstly, as you all know, we have officially become an  elementary school by adding Kindergarten to our Fall 2008 curriculum!
This is exciting progress for which we have worked hard to achieve. In order to accommodate our additional students and receive proper zoning and licensure, we require a larger facility.

The Sean Powers Shadow Puppetry Workshop is confirmed.

Sean Powers will present a short shadow puppet story, and children will make their own shadow puppets.
Time permitting, they can even create their own show.

Details

Friday, February 22, 1pm-3pm
$30 per child

This workshop will take place at a home in Greenbrae

We are all set for a great San Francisco Botanical Gardens tour in Italian

The event will be led by our good friend and Botanical Gardens docent Francesco di Firenze.

There is no charge for this tour, however it'd be great if children help with a thank you note after the event.
I will have the material for them.
