Dear Community Members,
Summer vacation is here! It is a bittersweet time of year for many people as we have to say, “so-long” to our friends who are leaving Chennai. This will be my last Friday newsletter to the community as I am moving to Thailand later this summer.
I want to thank each and every one of you for all your support, and for entrusting me with your children for the past six years. I am honored and feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to be part of the warm AISC community. I have so many wonderful memories of my time here. During my six years here, I have fostered relationships with many of you and I will cherish the memories and friendships I have made during this time. AISC has been a very special place for me and I will miss everyone.
Over the past few weeks, I have attended a number of good-bye get-togethers. It is inevitable to leave each occasion with mixed emotions. We live in a very special community and I think that this short poem, written by a young girl from Los Angeles, is so very true.
The Last Day of School by Amanda Awan
The last day of school is here,
and yet, it doesn't feel real.
It felt like just yesterday,
when we met ways.
When we became friends till forever end,
when we started our own new trend.
Since then so many days have passed,
the days spent will never last.
But if there is something that will,
they are the memories we spent together here.

Math Summer Fun
