Hair today gone tomorrow – lots of changes

Ms Creme is now in the lead but only just.  Felicity has knocked Mr. Fischl into last place.  He is feeling far too safe, only you can change that.  We will be collecting at break and lunch each day with the haircut happening on Friday out on the podium by the field.  Who will win a wonderful haircut? Only you can decide that.

I am looking for volunteers for break and lunch each day to help.  Please email me if you can help.

Hair today gone tomorrow – the gap is closing

Wow Ms. Creme is closing the gap on Noah and Sophie has moved into third place.  There is still time to chose Felicity of Mr. Fischl.  I would love to see Felicity with a purple and green mohawk – but then I am colorblind.  We will be collecting your donations at break and lunch today and again next week – who will win the haircut they have been dreaming about?Screen Shot 2016-04-21 at 3.42.52 PMFourth Hair today poster

Dog Owners

Dear Dog Owners,

For those of you who didn’t know, now it is mandatory for your dog to be registered. You may have seen these posters (picture below) around and red banners that notify that new pet laws are being implemented in Nanjing.  According to the neighbors, you will get fined if you don’t have the necessary documents by May. You will need various documents. Last year, I had to take a proof of rabies shot, vaccinations, proof of residence, passport, and my dog to the local police station.  I believe you still have to do the same this year- except now it is free! 🙂 But, to make sure that you get the most updated information, my best suggestion is … go to your vet and ask them how to best go about doing this.

Good luck!
