Dear Parents,
Next week is our
last week together for 2017! What a wonderful half year it has been in the
Elementary school. Next week, as you are aware, we celebrate the holiday season
together with a series of winter performances. We look forward to seeing all of
you there - please see below regarding bringing babies or toddlers.
Winter Concerts next week!
Next week we
have our end of 2017 Winter Performances. These will all be in the FAC Theatre
and will begin at 2pm. We are so looking forward to welcoming parents and
family there. For the upcoming winter performances, children should wear
holiday inspired clothing; nice clothes in holiday colors-red, green, blue,
gold, white.
Should you be bringing a toddler or baby with
you, please remember to use the upstairs space outside the theatre doors should
your young child be restless or need a break. Our Elementary students have
worked very hard to prepare for these performances and appreciate a thoughtful
audience.
Calling for Kitchen Supplies!
We are looking
for donations for the ES kitchen and/or Mud Kitchen - if you are departing
Chennai, we will gladly accept any kitchen items, particularly bowls, large
kitchen utensils, wooden spoons etc! Please feel free to bring these to the ES
Reception. Thank you in advance!
