Foreign students thank Armijo following Thanksgiving

[Thanksgiving Day, an annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year.]

Armijo High School is a great institution that does not differentiate among students in any way, providing them with one of the best educational experiences during their school year without distinction in  language, skin color, religion or origin. Due to the celebration of this holiday, various students from different parts of the world who are developing their English skills at this school, unite their voices to thank this honorable and responsible institution for their hospitality towards everyone.

While interviewing some students from different countries, it was apparent that everyone is grateful for the different ways in which Armijo High School has created a warm and socially inclusive environment to create connections with teachers, students, support staff and administrators. The community of foreign students respectfully appreciates all those who in some way or another make this campus one of the best places for young people to improve their education.  It is also a great place to make new friends and practice our communication skills.

Sincere thanks to all and Happy Thanksgiving!

She has a few months studying in Armijo, since she has come from India to study her junior year here. “As I said on the day of my presentation in ‘leadership’ I never thought I was living what I live now, I never thought of coming to California, or separating from my family to come here to Armijo. And despite everything I am very grateful to the school, the teachers, my leadership friends, and being able to participate in the volleyball team. I am very happy and grateful to live this experience here, at Armijo high school, for all that I have received and learned.
