Dear Parents,

Robots, aliens and headless horsemen were a main feature of conversation in the Elementary School this week! This week we had over 60 children involved in the Missola Children’s Theatre production of ‘Gulliver's’ Travels… Around space’. This was an amazing experience for all children involved, and also for those who attended our after school performance today.

Meet AISC - Preethi Isaac, Elementary Teaching Assistant

As well as being a self proclaimed poet, Preethi is proud of being able to encourage and help someone on their path to achieve what they set out to do.  Her teachers “could not do their jobs if it wasn’t for Preethi’s amazing support every day”. Preethi comes from a wonderful family who taught her that life is full of tiny miracles. She is an Engineer by qualification, but decided to give in to her desires of becoming an educator. She takes pride when she often allow is allowed to be part of a child's "Eureka" moment, and she is also a fierce lip syncer who displays rockstar fantasies while pretending to sing!  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Warmly,

Keryn Dowling and Lori Newman
