We are deeply saddened by the passing away of one of our dear community members, Mrs. Raquel Mosquera de Chiossone, mother of Tiziana Chiossone. Our hearts and prayers are with the family.
CONFIRMATION
This year's Confirmation was held on May 2nd in the Hospital San Juan de Dios Church. The mass was given by Archbishops, Balthazar Porras and William Delgado, who were accompanied by Father Pedro Freites, director of the Venezuelan school in Rome, and Father Mauricio, who prepared our students to receive this sacrament. Archbishop Balthazar Porras' words were very warm and appropriate for our students as he spoke to them about the importance of becoming followers and witnesses of Jesus Christ and his church.

Our upper high school students once again out did themselves when they participated in the Caracas Model United Nations (CAMUN) conference held in Colegio Hebraica. Over 600 students particpated and Colegio Jefferson brought home several awards as outstanding delegates.
Eighth graders had their first opportunity to attend Junior Model United Nations (JMUN) conference this past month at Colegio Internacional de Caracas. It was no surprise to us to hear how well they had done. We are very proud of them for their performance and our MUN director, Ms. Malula Ayala, for guiding them with her expertise knowledge.
ESTACIONAMIENTO "ESTADÍA CORTA"
Estimados padres y representantes:
Comprendiendo la necesidad de entrar al colegio para traer almuerzo para su representado, venir a retirar al alumno durante el horario de clases por alguna cita o pasar por administración, entre otros; hemos dispuesto unos conos identificados con el letrero "estadía corta", donde podrán estacionarse. Mucho le agradecemos que antes de retirarse, ubique nuevamente el cono en el sitio designado para ese fin.
Gracias por su cooperación al respecto.
