Student Blog: Reunion at The Beach

May 15, 2023 by jimena

Student Blog by Arias S

As students and teachers prepared to leave for Spring break, there was a general feeling of wanting to end with a big bang. So, the school threw a Beach Day including our families, not in separate groups, but in one big reunion as a school.

Ms. Olivia Grijalva, a teacher at our school said, “This was a great experience among students, teachers, and parents.” Teachers planned events and games. Students and their parents were invited to participate. All events were planned so everyone was capable of doing them.

This was both a bonding experience for everyone, as well as something The Palapa Society provided to make us, the students, feel more comfortable with our surroundings and teachers. I believe they did a great job mixing a beach day with physical activity making the day before a break memorable.

Thank you, and we hope this will continue in future years.

Student Blog: Todos Santos Open Studio Tour, by Coral

April 9, 2023 by jimena

Being at the Open Studio Tour event, originally located in Todos Santos, B.C.S. The Todos Santos Market in Doce Cuarenta, the location and destination of the 38 artists, has once again brought them together in this town that is characterized by being an attraction and acting seductively thanks to local crafts, being its touch of a magical town.

Likewise, creating the concept of Tour, by local artists scattered throughout the town, located by a map with a corresponding number and thus be visited, creating a tour.

However, this was the work of the Society of La Palapa, who were in charge of the paper to organize; which, in the same way, collect a work from each artist in order to be a fundraising reason; serving directly as a destination to La Palapa.

It can be assured that, in the Todos Santos Open Studio, for us artists at that time it was a space completely owned by the true part of us, I mean, our works accompanied us, and thus we made ourselves truly known.

On that occasion, I was an exhibitor, accompanied by other artists who were older by difference. However, I considered at that time to be a great opportunity to absorb greater wisdom from other artists, and it can be said that this objective was achieved.

In summary, a space for artistic expression or any opportunity to move forward and personal development, makes this invitation to which I was, as a student of the Palapa School; I personally received recognition for participating in this event, which reflects the support that the institution makes our talents known.

The Palapa School: Rotary Helps Students Win Robotics Competition

March 15, 2023 by jimena

By Ardice Farrow
 
The Palapa School Robotics Club won BEST in Innovation at the recent Regional First LEGO League Robotics Competition and was selected to participate in the National Competition on March 11 & 12 in Mexico City.
 
This is the first time club members have participated in a competition, and we are all thrilled with their creativity, hard work, and success.
To prepare for the regional LEGO competition, students were required to build and code several different robots to compete in multiple challenges. The second requirement of the competition was to “reimagine a better energy future,” identify a local energy and environmental problem, and propose an innovative solution.
 
As electricity in Baja California Sur, Mexico, is costly and production contributes to CO2 emissions, the students proposed an electrolysis plant to produce hydrogen and use it for the thermoelectric plant in La Paz, the capital city of Baja Sur. This solution would decrease CO2 emissions, reduce production costs, and make electricity cleaner and more affordable to Baja Sur.
 
The Palapa Robotics Club was made possible because of generous donations from local Todos Santos supporters, a District Grant from the Pilot Knob Rotary Club, and Texas Rotary District 5790, and support from The Denton Texas Rotary Club.

As a result of pre COVID contributions from Palapa supporters, a Rotary District Grant from The Pilot Knob Rotary Group, District 5790 and the added support of members of the Denton Noon Rotary Club The Palapa School was able to launch its first Robotics Club with eight students in late 2022.

The Palapa School, Clubs

February 22, 2023 by jimena

On January 18, The Palapa School went into action to make club presentations at The Palapa Wrapped event. Here, each of the 10 clubs set up a stand or made a presentation where they shared some of the activities and learning from the last semester.

The participating clubs were: Crafts, Table Games, Photography, Weaving, Electricity, Art, First Aid, Robotics, Leadership and Music. This event definitely helped consolidate the knowledge and skills of the young students, but also added a touch of fun and joy to the closing of a semester of clubs.
