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.

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
