Dear Parents,
Congratulations to our cast of 60 and
our 4 assistant directors for their outstanding performance of Treasure island
today. We are so glad the rain kept away so the show definitely could go on!
Photos from this will be available on our Raptors Gallery next week.

Connelly, on Wednesday morning from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m. in the Madras Hall, to

Late Pick up from school
Understanding that at times there may
be an unavoidable situation where you may be late to collect your child from
school, we are noticing several children are routinely not being collected
until after 3:45 p.m. We ask for your support and understanding in being prompt
to collect your children at 3:30 p.m and at 2:00 on Early Release days. Thank
you!

possibilities for the future - December 12

excellence and construct the future of wellbeing at AISC - January 23
The sessions will run from 2:30-5:00 pm

Operation Smile
Operation Smile will be sending some of
our club members on a medical mission trip to Darjeeling! Our aim is to make
the children undergoing their cleft palate/lip surgeries feel as comfortable as
possible. We need your help! Darjeeling is a very cold place, and the patients
need blankets to stay warm. There are boxes set-up at the high school office,
middle school office, elementary school office, elementary cafeteria, and the
main gate, so please donate any old blankets your family might have!
Thank you,
Operation Smile Board
Hour of Code Coming the week of 26th November to 30th of November (repeat
announcement)
The Hour of Code is a
global movement by Computer Science Education Week and Code.org reaching tens
of millions of students in 180+ countries through a one-hour introduction to
computer science and computer programming. Many AISC elementary students will be
participating in coding in their classrooms or with the Maker Space teachers
during this week. If you would like to do more coding at home with your child, check out these excellent resources at Code.org sorted by grade level, all the way from
pre-readers through high school age! Coding is a great elective home learning
choice for building logic and reasoning.
Have a wonderful
weekend!
Keryn Dowling, Dave Allen and Calley Connelly
