Dear Faculty,

Happy Holidays! Today’s blog is to wish you all a fabulous break wherever you may be! Take time to read, walk, swim, ski, dance, reflect and laugh with friends and family. Thank you all for a wonderful half year together. Know that each and everyone of you has made a difference to our elementary students and their families. Enjoy a well-earned vacation break. The Sunday before school resumes is when we will send our information blog to kick start our first week back.

Until then…

You’ve worked so hard and now it’s here,
A totally festive time of year,
Some visit family, some drink beer,
Some go far and some stay near.
You may be surfing or perhaps you’re not clear,
But whatever it is, please do it with cheer.

The Grade 4 team would like to wish you all,
Be you fat or thin, short or tall,
A very Merry Christmas  - and that’s not all,
We’d like to say thanks as we’ve had a ball.
It’s been great working with everyone, you keep us enthralled,
Oh, AISC you are unequalled!

Thank yous…
  • Thank you to Hilary, Priya and Adithya for working with 4JH and supporting us in the ES Kitchen. Our effort to make a difference by appreciating a few people in our community was fruitful.
  • Thank you John for the inaugural garden club! It is a hit and is inspiring the love for planting and trying new things in students.
  • Thank you to Alex - all of his documents and files that are uploaded related to Workshop make accessing resources super easy and convenient. This is getting more rubrics and checklists into student hands to self-assess and set goals.
  • The Grade 4 Team would like to give a special thanks to Fer, Jyotsna and Hilary for organizing our Virtual Field Trip to Ecuador! Fer’s sister’s organization CAEMBA, has made a difference in our 4th graders’ lives, as well as the lives of hundreds of families in Ecuador who suffered from the devastating earthquake in 2016.
  • Thank you to Dee and Nicole for all the work they do behind the scenes in student council
  • Thank you to Sarah, Finny and Vasanth for spreading festive joy in the building through the music concerts
  • Thank you all TAs who helped support rehearsals for the music concerts
  • To Lakshmi for her work in the EY5 program and best wishes as a new mother.
  • Thank you to all the busy and secretive Santa’s in the building, what a fun experience for all!
  • Thank you to Alex, Jet, Rachael, and Hilary who were guest readers in many classes this week
Have a great Holiday!

Warmly,

Keryn and Lori
