May 22, 2015

Dear parents,

Looks like quiet weeks are just passing with this heat to remind us that Chennai has Hot, Hotter and Hottest Seasons...but we all know that many of us are actually pretty busy at home packing and selecting items to bring back home or to move to the next destination or also to leave here.
There will be hard weeks for many of us, not easy to say goodbye with the promise of trying to stay connected and to meet someday somewhere, but sure is that technology is by our side and through Mail, Facebook, Pinterest, Flickr, Twitter...and so on, connection is an easy task.
Enjoy your next weeks!


Believe it o not...we are still missing 3 of the PCA Executive Team's Positions: if you are not sure if to take it but still thinking...now make the right decision and step into it...so that Simona - the only candidate to the VP position - can have a restful and serene Summer!
WE are looking for President, Secretary and Treasurer.
Here you can check what the Bylaws says about the 3 positions. 
Anyway, you also must know that a Team works together and together the result is easier: the Administration will support you all along the year with so much passion and willingness that you will be touched. 
It will be fun and the experience out of it will be amazing: guaranteed!

Lost and Found
Lost and Found items are stored near the MC rooms. Sonia David in the main reception holds the valuable items. Kindly visit these areas if your child has lost something. 

These items that have been found will be displayed on tables in the main entrance from Wednesday, June3rd through Friday, June 5th. Please stop by to see if any of these belong to your family.Those items not claimed by Friday, June 5th will be donated to local orphanages.

Book donations needed!

Our AISC mission is alive and well for staff as well as students!  Pursuing her passion of service, former EAL teacher and current Literacy Coach, Megan McCrindle, is headed to Pune "make her unique contribution" at a new school, aimed at providing world-class education for promising Indian girls.

Preparing to open its doors this summer, Avasara is looking for donations of gently used English language books.  If you have any you’d like to give, please bring them to the box at Main Reception.  We’ll accept donations through Wednesday, 3 June.


Avasara believes that when inspirational young women work with inspired teachers, mentors, and curricula, there are no limits to what can be achieved. 

Avasara Academy is a progressive secondary school opening in August 2015 that will educate girls of exceptional promise for a lifetime of leadership and contribution to society. Outstanding students selected on merit to attend Avasara will engage in a specialized curriculum designed to couple academic excellence with Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Indian Studies.  Avasara believes that a student's ability to pay fees should not affect their chances to experience this unique and holistic educational opportunity, and they offer admission to exceptional girls, with a financial assistance program seeking to ensure that all admitted students can attend. Here is a short video on the school: https://youtu.be/vYEHckI_TLg

Thank you and help spread the word about this new school! Feel free to contact Megan (mmegan@aisch,org) to learn more about Avasara and how you can get involved.

As Megan says:  “It takes a village to start a school.”  Thanks for being part of our global village.

And if you have gently used books in other languages which you would like to donate, please bring them to the MS CIC.

A box has been arranged in Main Reception. 

Thank you all.
