Everyone is welcome to come by, sit on Santa's lap, and buy some presents for your friends and family. Profits made by the school will go toward the High School Banquet and our first senior class trip.

On December 16th at 6:30 p.m. our students will be performing our annual Christmas program. Everyone is welcome to come and watch our kindergarten through third grade students as they present traditional Christmas songs and skits. Then allow our students in grades 4 - 12 to take you on a trip of time and imagination. Imagine the story of the first Christmas being covered by a television news network like CBS, CNN, or Fox News. Tune in as ICSL students present, Mayhem in Bethlehem: a 30- Minute Special Report by Dave Noel and Jay Rouse. This musical comedy will be a blessing for all who attend.

San Silvestre School

Summer School - The great success of last year's Summer School has prompted Susy de la Borda, the Co-ordinator, to extend the activities to older children. Now grades 3 6 Summer School participants will have the chance to become archaeologists as they head out to the different areas of archaeological interest in Lima. This is a new project which has been encouraged by the new focus on Peruvian heritage led by Patricia Patiño and famous archaeologist Denise Pozzi-Escot.

For the younger children, there will be the wonderful mix of computers, music, ceramics, Afro-Peruvian dance and many other activities. If you would like more information, you can contact Susy de la Borda at the following e-mail address: summer@sansilvestre.edu.pe or log onto “Summer School” in the San Silvestre website: www.sansilvestre.edu.pe.
