“I Can Read Now!”: A Touching Tribute to Our Students’ Achievement

The Domínico Americano School joyfully and proudly celebrated the traditional recognition ceremony “I Can Read Now!”, a meaningful event that marks the beginning of our students’ wonderful journey into reading.

The ceremony began with the students’ parade, followed by the national anthems of the Dominican Republic and the United States. Our director, Ms. Linda Mauad, offered warm words of welcome that led into an emotional program full of talent and heart.

During the activity, teachers Lía Hernández, Odaliza Rodríguez, Mariana Mercedes, and Laura Méndez shared farewell messages, highlighting the growth and dedication of their students.

One of the most special moments was the reading presentation in English, “This Is My Story”, performed by the students.

It was followed by the Spanish reading “I Am the Author”, where the students also shone on stage.

The event also featured a heartfelt video titled “When I Grow Up…”, presented by first-grade students, and a walk down memory lane reflecting on the school year. The final artistic performances, “I Am Marching” and “Live Your Story”, were a beautiful closing filled with enthusiasm and confidence.

Director Linda Mauad gave the final remarks, emphasizing the value of reading as the foundation of learning and celebrating the milestones reached.

We congratulate our students on this great step and their families for being with them on every page of this story that is just beginning!
