By Patricia Duarte
August is almost gone and schools have already begun the school year all over Mexico. Sayulita, our beloved town is no exception. Kids between 4 and 17 years old will attend Sayulita's kindergarten, elementary, and secondary schools, while the little ones go to the Guarderia in El Mangal area. During this last week, Nayarit State Government distributed school supplies to all students across the entire state of Nayarit.
As an effort for the students (and their parents) to have no excuse for failure to attend the classes, the government distributed notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, sharpeners and even calculators to all the kids in the elementary and secondary schools. Every student, no exceptions, received a package with school supplies directly from the hands of school and ejido authorities.
In the Sayulita secondary school, Sr. Manuel Rodriguez Trujillo, President of the Parents Association, Sr. Jose Cruz Rodriguez, Temporary Comisariado Ejidal of Sayulita, and Sr. Jesus Rodriguez Ahumada, Sayulita judge, personally welcomed all students to school and helped distribute school supplies.
We trust all of the students will make great use of these supplies and the can take advantage of them to build a better future for themselves and for our beloved Sayulita!
Agosto casi termina y las clases comenzaron ya en todo México. Sayulita, nuestro querido pueblo no es la excepción. Niños entre 4 y 17 años acuden de lunes a viernes al kínder, la primaria o la secundaria, además de los pequeñitos que asisten a la guardería ubicada en El Mangal. Pues bien, durante esta semana y la semana pasada, el gobierno del Estado de Nayarit, repartió útiles escolares a todos los niños del estado, incluidos, obviamente, nuestros niños en Sayulita.
En un esfuerzo para que los niños (y sus padres) no tengan pretexto para no asistir a la escuela básica, el gobierno de Nayarit, regaló libretas, lápices, plumas, borradores, sacapuntas, y hasta calculadoras a todos los niños que asisten a la escuela Primaria y Secundaria. Todos, sin excepción, recibieron este paquete de útiles escolares, de manos de autoridades escolares y ejidales de la región.
En la Secundaria Revolución Mexicana, se dieron cita los Sres. Manuel Rodríguez Trujillo, Presidente de la Sociedad de Padres de Familia de la secundaria; el Sr. José Cruz Rodríguez, Presidente interino del Comisariado Ejidal de Sayulita y el Sr. Jesús Rodriguez Ahumada, Juez de nuestro pueblo, para dar la bienvenida a la escuela a los chicos que asisten a la misma, y para repartir los útiles escolares.
Todos deseamos que los niños hagan un buen uso de este material y que lo aprovechen al máximo para que puedan sentar las bases de un gran futuro para ellos mismos y para nuestro querido Sayulita!

10. Do you have a recommendation for the people of Sayulita? It would make me happy to see more trash cans and recycling bins placed outside of businesses and along the streets. There isn't a trash can from the bridge to downtown and if there were more trash bins people will be less likely to litter. We need to work together to keep Sayulita clean and not through our garbage on the streets.
10. Alguna recomendación o comentario que quiera hacer a la gente de Sayulita? Me alegraría ver mas botes de basura y reciclaje afuera de locales y en las calles. No hay botes de basura desde el puente hasta el centro del pueblo y si hubiera mas botes de basura las personas tal vez no tirarian su basura por donde quiera. Nesistamos trabajar juntos para mantener Sayulita limpio y no tirar nuestro basura por las calles.
