Dear
Parents,
Look
forward to seeing many of you at the Feb Fling tomorrow!
Theatre
Games and Acro Dance Showcase!
We
would like to invite the parents of all the students in Theatre Games and Acro
Dance ASA to our Showcase. The young actors from Ms. Ula's ASA will introduce
some of the theatre and movement games they have been playing and explain what
they have learned from each game.
In
Acro, led by Ms. Jane, students worked on beginner skills including,
cartwheels, rolls, handstands, bridges, balances and splits.
All
students worked extremely hard and are excited to share their hard work with
you. The Showcase will take place Monday, February 26th, at 4:15pm in the FAC
Theatre. We are looking forward to sharing with you!
Meet
AISC - Linda Gerberich - Elementary Counselor
Like
a number of the AISC teachers, Linda started her career as a Peace Corps
Volunteer. She served in the Philippines and worked with teens who could not
afford to go to school. Linda has been a School Counselor for 25 plus years in
both international and US public schools. This is her first year at AISC and
she came from working at an international school in Helsinki, Finland. Helsinki
and Chennai are very different! Linda is originally from Ohio in the US. She
loves that she gets to work with and know so many students and parents and
teachers, because she enjoys the opportunity to turn a student's day around and
help make it better. If Linda had a secret power, she would be able to speak
any language!
