This experience changed my life! Now, I have more dreams and some other goals. I'm so thankful for everything that I've learned. I want to continue growing as a human and as a teacher. The Amity program is one the best things that ever happened to me." - Michelle, 2018-2019 Intern

We have been working with Amity for several years. Learning about different cultures, communities, traditions, music, arts, dances and more, helps our students to see the world as a global place fostering diversity and respect. Having a second adult in the classroom helps our teachers to be able to have more individualized attention to students and work on small groups. Amity has been a wonderful organization to work with, reliable and accessible, bringing highly qualified young people to work in our school."- Maria Buceta Miller, Amity School Coordinator, John Stanford International School

Congratulations to Mr. Perales for all your hard w Congratulations to Mr. Perales for all your hard work, it surely has not gone unnoticed! 

“Mr. Perales is an outstanding 5th-grade teacher at Butterfield Elementary School. He frequently creates innovative science and STEAM activities that engage and inspire his students. His positivity and friendliness shine in his interactions with colleagues, students, and parents, fostering strong relationships across the school community. At the start of the school year, Mr. Perales was honored with the Spotlight Award and recognized at a school board meeting for his exceptional contributions. We are truly fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented educator on our team. Here are two pictures. One is of the award presentation - in this picture he is shaking hands with the superintendent. The other picture is of me and him.  Thank you for further recognizing him! He’s so terrific!”

Amity Teacher, Mr. Santos, from Mexico, shared som Amity Teacher, Mr. Santos, from Mexico, shared some photos and his experience below regarding the program: 

“I added in this email many of some pics which show my experience since I came here to Colorado and my work with my students in high school. Some of the students’ pics show how I work in the classes sharing my culture and also added personal trips in Colorado with my co-workers and my host family.

I hope that these pics can be shared in the Amity program with the teachers.
 
Thanks for all your support since I started the process of this adventure.”

Thank you, Mr. Santos, for being part of our program and all the amazing work that you do! 🇲🇽
