“The smallest thanks is always worth more than the effort it takes to give it”
As we are coming to the second half of this academic year, we would like to take the time to show our appreciation to all the teachers, office administrators, and all support staff. On Tuesday, February 25 PCA will be hosting its annual Faculty Appreciation Day lunch to show our appreciation to the AISC teachers and support staff.
Last year, we hosted the event by providing home cooked food for the teaching and administrative staff. This was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by them. We would like to follow the same approach this year. We will be serving a total of 250 teachers, teaching assistants, and administrative support staff.
Additionally, the PCA will be serving 180 support staff at AISC a Biriyani lunch and traditional Indian sweets.
We request our parent community to support us for the event with a dish(s) to serve 8-10 servings. For example, a bowl of pasta salad, pan of lasagna, batch of cookies, and so on.
Lunch will be served for teachers from 11:30am - 1:30pm. The venue will be Madras Hall.
Please work with your country group to ensure we have enough food to go around for all. Once you have decided what you want to bring please sign up here.
Please help us provide a balanced amount of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts and adjust your plans if a category is already full.
Schedule
8:30 am - 11:00 am drop of food in Madras Hall

11:30 am - 1:30 pm teachers and admin staff come for lunch

Maker Carnival AISC is free to attend, AISC community event, which will be held on Saturday, March 7th from 10:00 - 3:00. Maker Carnival takes the form of a “Show, Tell, and Do” experience where makers will have the opportunity to showcase their craft and participants can enjoy learning new skills. It is a family-friendly event full of invention and creativity as well as a celebration of the maker movement. It’s a place where people can show what they are making and share what they are learning.
For those who have participated in the past, Maker Carnival will look different this year as we invite more students and parents to participate in different ways. From school clubs to middle school students working on STEAM projects to students of all ages trying different activities, the AISC community will be involved in new and exciting ways this year.
Are you an artist, tinkerer, crafter, or maker of any kind? Maker Carnival is all-new this year so if you are a maker who would like to come to share your talent or craft, please sign up to join us at this fun event. We also need volunteers to run pre-planned activities. Or just come with your family and participate in this fun event!
