Dear parents,
Time seems to be flying by and before we know it, it will be the Christmas vacation! The class is planning to hold a Christmas lunch on Wednesday December 13th in the South Kiva. Ms. Alisha (our room mom) is making the arrangements and she will be contacting you all soon via email with the needs and requirements. It will be held in the morning, at roughly 11 am. All parents are welcome!
We also begin our country and continent report presentations on Tuesday next week. Each child will present a report, usually either by poster and/or PowerPoint, and if they wish, bring artifacts and/or food for the presentation. This is a prelude to the whole-school International Festival, which takes place on Wednesday December 20th from 9-11 am. More specific details about timings and food requirements for the International Festival will follow in the next post.
The school is keen for parents to complete the 2017 Parent Survey about the school. So, if you have a few spare minutes could you follow this link. Thank you!: http://www.advanc-ed.org/survey/public/section/response/begin?surveyConfigId=738200
