Weekly Update, Monday 4 November 2019

Dear colleagues,

Welcome back to the beautiful fall weather feeling rejuvenated and rested, and building curiosity towards
Tom Nehmy's Healthy Minds, Healthy School concept. As detailed in Jon’s email, Monday is all about Tom Nehmy.
On Tuesday we will spend the morning as an elementary team getting prepared for the next 6 weeks and looking
ahead at the remainder of the year. On Tuesday afternoon, Tom Nehmy will be tailoring his program for the
Elementary School context. On Wednesday we will welcome students back and hit the ground running with
the afternoon Extended Learning. On Friday, Satsuki-san will take a group of ES singers to the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel to launch their Christmas season. On Saturday, you can enjoy the singers, as well as wonderful food
and drinks at the International Food and Fun Fair. We look forward to seeing everybody again!
