2 MORE DAYS!!!

Hey boys and girls!

I hope you’re just about finished with your exhibit because the Exhibition is in JUST TWO DAYS!!! WOOHOO!!!

Please take note of WHERE your both is – a print out of the booth arrangements are on the board in each of your classrooms. MEMORIZE your booth’s position because you will have to stand in the right place on Thursday morning after assembly.

TOMORROW I will take consultations during lunch from 12:20pm till 12:45pm – for any last minute suggestions and feedback on your exhibit.

PLEASE BRING ALONG A HAT OR UMBRELLA ON THURSDAY as it will be pretty HOT from 1-2pm, and you will be standing on the field the ENTIRE time…. so be ready.

I have the TOP 3 prizes ready and boyyy are they good!! Gift certificates for Kinokunia and ToysRus, plus some other cool gifts…
There will also be awards for:
*Most Creative
*Most Popular (among audience)
*Most Well Researched

GOOD LUCK!
I’m soooo excited to see your exhibits!!

~Ms Shimona.

PS: You can leave your exhibits in Ms Dora’s room tomorrow till Thursday if you wish. Make sure you label your exhibit with YOUR NAME.

Pushing Your Imagination to the Limit…

Books, paper certs, & money

can only take you so far.

We should really be

exemplifying and teaching

our children ATTITUDES

on how to live life

successfully.

INTERNATIONAL FAIR

February 9^th, 2010

Dear Parent,

We would like to enlist your help in the upcoming International Fair on Friday, February 26^th.

On that day, we will have student performances (Student Assembly) from 8am-9am, followed by the International Fair from 9am-10am. The idea behind this Fair is to teach students cultural awareness and appreciation, and is in conjunction with the School-Wide Theme this month (International Cultures Month).

We need ONE parent (Team Leader) to be in charge of ONE COUNTRY.

NOTE: You can pick ANY country – it can, but does NOT have to be your own country.

In the spirit of equality, we are trying to make sure that ALL countries that students are from are represented at the Fair, and also that the material(s) presented are of roughly the same amount.

Once the Team Leaders for each country has been confirmed and notified, they will be in charge of forming a team (of peers/parents/students) to help assemble a “Country Booth” which (at this moment) will be limited to a MAXIMUM space of two classroom tables.

Setup time for the Country Booths will be on Thursday, February 25^th 4pm-5:30pm.

Some ideas that you might want to include at your booth: Decorations, banner, flag, pictures, music, small games, food, costumes, etc.

How to pick a country:

Please take a look at the full country list below, pick your TOP THREE countries of choice (as confirmed choices will be on a first-come-first-served basis), and EMAIL shimona@wells-school.com by THIS FRIDAY, February 12^th. Confirmations and instructions will be sent the following week via email to you.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Open Letter to Wells Parents

Dearest Parents,

It was great having coffee with you this morning. I’m so glad we got to talk.

In the weeks and months to come, I hope that more parental involvement will become the norm at Wells.

Your voice is so important to us, and in time, we will certainly be hearing more from you.

I look forward to making better relations with you in future.

Please feel free, and remember to email me at shimona@wells-school.com to get onto the electronic communications database.

Your presence was much appreciated today.

Thanks once again.
Warmest regards,
