Dear Trojan Community,

🌞 End-of-Year Message & Summer Break Wishes 🌴

Dear Students and Families,

As we close another successful school year, we want to take a moment to celebrate all of your hard work, growth, and accomplishments. Each of you has made us proud, and we are grateful for the dedication you’ve shown in your learning and in supporting one another.

Summer break is a well-earned time to rest, recharge, and enjoy special moments with family and friends. While we hope you take time to relax, we also encourage you to stay engaged with your learning so you can return in August ready for another great year.

Here are a few simple ways to keep your mind active over the summer:

📚 Keep Reading

  • Read books, magazines, or online articles that interest you
  • Set a goal to read a certain number of books over the summer
  • Visit your local or online library

✍️ Write and Reflect

  • Keep a summer journal to capture your experiences
  • Write short stories, poems, or even letters to friends and family

🔢 Practice Problem-Solving

  • Use math apps, puzzles, or games
  • Practice daily math facts or real-life problem solving (shopping, cooking, budgeting)

🌍 Explore and Be Curious

  • Visit museums, parks, or historical sites
  • Learn a new skill or hobby
  • Explore educational videos and activities online

🎨 Create and Imagine

  • Draw, paint, build, or design something new
  • Participate in music, art, or crafting activities

Most importantly, please stay safe. Make good choices, take care of yourselves and each other, and remember to balance fun with responsibility.

We look forward to welcoming you back in August, refreshed and ready to continue learning and growing together.

Have a wonderful and safe summer!

 

 

Warm regards,
Ankara EHS Administration
