Parents: Would You Like to Be More Involved at AISC? We Need Your Expertise in 2017-2018! 

One question we hear from parents fairly consistently is, “How can we help?” We have answer for that question for next year already!

 As we look ahead to the 2017-2018 school year, we are seeing a number of areas for which we need some specific expertise, and we are hopeful that our parents can helps us. For starters, here are three:

1.     Our iLab garden team successfully prototyped some raised bed gardens this year that we want students and teachers to use to connect to specific learning in classrooms. We need knowledgeable and passionate gardeners to assist our teachers. Do you have a passion and know-how for gardening? Interested in helping us support teachers and their work? Share your expertise with us! Please email Andrew Hoover (headofschool@aischennai.org) if you are interested in this opportunity. 

2.     Over the summer, we are installing an instructional kitchen in the ES. We need parents who know their way around a kitchen and love to be creative. Do you have passion and know-how in the area of cooking? Interested in helping us support student learning? Share your expertise with us! Please email or Keryn Dowling (dkeryn@aischennai.org) if you would like to be involved with the teaching kitchen.

3.   We are looking for an Alumni Coordinator who would work with our Director of Advancement to coordinate and organize the alumni group. This is a great opportunity for a young alumni student, alumni faculty member or alumni parent. Please contact Kirsten Welbes (wkirsten@aischennai.org) if you'd like to be work with the alumni 

network. 

Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in joining Girl Scouts at AISC in the fall. We have a very eager group of 4th and 5th grade girls who want to participate, but they are in need of a leader. If you are interested in helping to lead these girls, please email Erin Weller at peweller@gmail.com.

Do you enjoy planning events?

Do you have a knack for networking and making new contacts in Chennai?

Is planning a social outing your thing?

If so, we could use you.

We are looking to build our committees and are searching for people that want to join us. If you have an interest in helping us form a sponsorship committee, like planning events and want to be on the Diwali Mela committee, or just want to lead a tour in Chennai, email the PCA at pca@aischennai.org.

We are here to help. If you have a question that needs answered or are looking for more information, here is how to reach your PCA Executive Committee Members...
