A legacy of meaningful lives that brings value to Guatemalan and global communities.
The end of the<br />
school year<br />
has arrived!<br />
As we reflect back on the school year, we<br />
celebrate the growth of our students at all<br />
levels. Our Early Childhood students have<br />
gained the confidence that comes with<br />
independence and pride for their school life.<br />
Our Elementary students have studied<br />
Guatemalan culture and history and the<br />
American Revolutionary War; learning about<br />
peoples, conflict, resolution and progress. Our<br />
Middle Schoolers started the year anxious and<br />
curious but end with a determined voice about<br />
friendships, volcanoes and community<br />
service.<br />
And finally, our High School students have<br />
welcomed June with a roar and are tackling<br />
exams and preparing the requirements for the<br />
rigor of the upper classmen course of study.<br />
THE CULMINATING <strong>CAG</strong> EXPERIENCE<br />
SITS IN THE HEARTS, MINDS AND<br />
VIDAS OF OUR SENIORS- THE CLASS<br />
OF 2018. WE ARE PROUD OF THESE<br />
YOUNG ADULTS AND WE SHARE IN<br />
THEIR FAMILIES´ EXCITEMENT AS THEY<br />
RUN INTO THE WORLD AND MAKE<br />
THEIR MEANINGFUL MARKS ONTO IT.<br />
As we close the school year, we certainly have<br />
tons to celebrate, but we also feel the<br />
incredible responsibility to make sure that<br />
<strong>CAG</strong> is poised strongly for the new school year<br />
ahead. While our students and teachers enjoy<br />
summer travel, rest and adventure, our<br />
campus will undergo exciting new<br />
improvements. When we open our doors in<br />
August, <strong>CAG</strong>´s foundations will continue to be<br />
stronger than ever, while offering new places<br />
and updated environments for <strong>CAG</strong> kids of all<br />
ages to explore and discover learning.<br />
As you prepare to leave for the summer, join<br />
me in applauding the faculty throughout the<br />
school who have nurtured and cared for our<br />
students and who inspire hornets of all ages to<br />
be their best!<br />
In the tradition of maroon and gray,<br />
Patricia Lee Marshall<br />

IMG Clinics<br />
SOCCER CLINICS FOR <strong>CAG</strong> COACHES AND ATHLETES
Once a year, IMG Academy will be offering <strong>CAG</strong> coaches and athletes ages 8-18 speciality sport clinics of our<br />
choice as part our new partnership. For this school year, the Athletic Director with the support of the Booster<br />
Club chose soccer. The clinics are designed and runned by IMG and their coaching staff. IMG Academy has over<br />
35 years of elite training experience, with a methodology that addresses all technical and tactical aspects of<br />
the game to facilitate total athletic development. They have helped shape some of the best soccer players in<br />
the United States for more than 20 years, and was home to U16 and U17 men’s national teams.<br />
We had the pleasure of having three amazing IMG soccer coaches come<br />
work with us. Rusty Scarborough, Director of the Soccer Program at IMG.<br />
Miguel Rodrigues, Director of Soccer Summer Camps and Alexander Chater,<br />
U19 National Elite Coach.<br />
It was a three day clinic for all our coaching staff and a two day clinic for our soccer<br />
players. On the field, athletes got cutting-edge training in performance elements to<br />
improve strength, agility and endurance. Off the field, they worked on confidence, team work,<br />
nutrition and overall health. They shared information with athletes and coaches of what the<br />
scholarship and college playing process is like and what it takes to get in, as well as the<br />
importance of good academic planning and development. Clinics included hydration and food.<br />
Both coaches and athletes enjoyed healthy and delicious meals and snacks. All participants<br />
received a diploma and gift at the awards ceremony. IMG gifted the overall MVP winner with a<br />
one week summer camp certificate.<br />
COMING SOON……<br />
Booster Club is already planning the next school year’s clinic, all teams<br />
will have the opportunity to particpate. Don’t miss it.. GO HORNETS!!!
Congrats,
for a<br />
great<br />
year!

We want to congratulate Fatima Rubio (Class of 2002) on her extraordinary achievement.<br />
She received the Harvey Russell Award , the Chairman's Award is the highest honor at<br />
PepsiCo. It recognizes those individuals and teams who have distinguished themselves as<br />
truly extraordinary serving as an inspiration for the rest of the company. Her program for<br />
which she won this award is called “Orgulloso de ser Agricultor” of the PepsiCo Guatemala<br />

This initiative impacts more than 2000 people that cultivate potatoes in Quetzaltenango by<br />
integrating them in a program that helps them with sustainability, production,<br />
environmental protection, basic nutrition, water conservation among other things. Thank<br />
