Weekly Updates, Monday, 17 April, 2023




Dear colleagues,

It was a joyous week at our school, and we are grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of the International Food and Fun Fair. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the PTA for their exceptional effort in organizing the International Food and Fun Fair. The fair was a memorable occasion that allowed our students and families to experience the diverse cultures and cuisines represented in our school community. Thank you, PTA, for making it happen!

Additionally, we want to congratulate Tangala and Satsuki for the outstanding show of PreK/KA and KB students during their Visual Art and Musical afternoon. The students demonstrated excellent musical skills and confidence on stage, and it was a delight to see their families and friends applauding their efforts and enjoying the amazing artwork in the Atrium.


This week, we have a lot to look forward to as we prepare for the CIS pre-accreditation visit. This visit is an opportunity for our school to showcase our commitment to excellence in education and the well-being of our students.

We also have an Elementary School assembly where we will celebrate our student's accomplishments and recognize their efforts. As always, the assembly is an excellent opportunity to encourage our students to continue to showcase their talents, learning, and increasing confidence.

Furthermore, there will be a parent workshop on transitions, which will provide parents with useful information on how to support their children during transitions. On Thursday, we will welcome the first APAC visiting schools since Covid-19. The whole school will get together in the ELAC gym to cheer for the courageous high school athletes. Please, remind the ES students that the Booster Club is for the athletes and Secondary School students only.

Finally, we will wrap up the week with the highly anticipated ES Play on Friday and Saturday. This year's play promises to be exciting, and we encourage everyone to come out and support our students.

As we move forward, let us continue to work together to ensure that our school remains a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for our students. We look forward to another fantastic week.

Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
