Book Club – MS / US Students

Do you like reading? 喜欢看书吗？Would you like to join a book club to talk about the books you have read? If so, I have good news for you,a Student book club will start soon. It will meet on Fridays 3.15-4.15 in the Library. This will be your chance to tell others about those great books you have been reading, and of course, hear from others about their great books. Please email me if you are interested in joining.

Bell Submission

You may have noticed that many bells this year have been repeats of submissions from previous years. This week, we have Pokemon Go, which was submitted last year by grade 5. We reuse bells because there aren’t enough bells submitted to fill all the time slots.

For the remainder of the year, we have blocked out slots for DP exams, the PYP production, and the last week of school. Otherwise, all bell slots are empty. If you would like to submit a bell for this year, please email Miss Keus. Otherwise, I’ll start going through submissions from Mr. Mello, Mr. Marsh, Mr. Coad, and Mrs. Moen, whose advisories always do multiple submissions.

Thanks,

Miss Keus
