September 12, 2014

Greetings at the end of another busy week at school! 
We are looking forward to several big events. 
Many volunteers have been working together to bring them to you, and we are grateful for their help.


UN International Peace Day – Friday 19 Sept
At the end of Peace Week, our children will participate in a celebration of all of the countries here at AISC. The PCA is pleased to help sponsor a country pavilion. Community members from 20 countries have chosen to put up a table with information, a taste of a typical food, and perhaps a small souvenir of their country, so our children may get to know them better. Do stop by the gym to see it, but remember that we need to serve all of our children first. Thank you to the many volunteers who have spent weeks planning this event, and to those who will make it happen. T shirts will be on sale at drop off and pick up times next week outside Main Reception. We have a new, blue shirt which celebrates AISC’s International Mindedness. Sizes child 8 through adult XL; 350 Rs each. Net proceeds toward our annual donation to school.


Diwali Mela is coming second week of October! We are planning fabulous performances from community members. We will have dinner – we’re working on a tasting menu of the cuisines of India. All of this will take place on the AISC campus. Wear your sari or sherwani and join the festivities. More information will follow in the next PCA Meeting. See school in a whole new light.
Volunteer opportunity! please email PCA@aisch.org if you’d like to help with this event.

Call for Performances for Diwali Mela : we would like to treat our audience to an hour of singing, dancing, reciting, music, etc. Since the event celebrates Diwali, preference will be given to those with a theme of "light" or a related Diwali theme. If your performance does not have such a theme, and you would like to participate anyway, please let us know. 
Timing should be about 5 minutes each - longer or shorter can be included, however.

Happenings Around School
Next week is Freedom from Chemical Dependency Week in the Middle and High Schools. Ask your children what they’ve heard.
School wide, Monday begins with the International Dot Day and ends with Peace Day on Thursday and UN Day on Friday: follow carefully Head of School Notes for more information.
There are meetings of the AISC Association (you are a member) and the AISC Board of Directors over the next few weeks - details are in the calendar and Head’s Notes. Please consider attending. This is your school. By attending these meetings, you can find out how it is run, its current projects, meet your representatives, and provide them your input. 
Note that PCA lists local events and activities of interest to our school community in the sidebar. 
We can only list what we know about! We rely on you to send them to us.

A restful weekend to you.

We remain yours sincerely,
