Giving makes you feel good!

Many thanks to all those people who have already bought gift tags for the Pfrang children. You will make them very happy! In some homerooms, nearly all the children have contributed. In others, no-one has contributed yet. But there’s still time! Get a group of 5 friends together and donate 20RMB each to buy one. You’ll feel GREAT! You can get the tags in the Library or from me in C146. The trophies are here, so are the sweets-which homeroom and advisory will be the recipients? The box of chocolates is also here-which donor will win the raffle? Make a Pfrang student’s day!

Just to remind teachers of G12 that Business Management students are away on a visit to BSH today. The wonders of lean production await. Please see email of Oct 26th.

 

Student Voice – we want to hear it TODAY

NIS is planning to remodel the Library. Do you use the Library? Do you never use the Library? Would you like to use the Library more but it doesn’t work for you? Do you love the Library just the way it is? We want to know ALL of your opinions about the Library. Come and have your voice heard TODAY Wednesday November 30th at 12.50 in the MYP LGR.

Until Movember is finished. Razors are getting sharpened, shaving cream is getting purchased, and some of the men at NIS are getting ready to cleanse their faces from the awesomeness that is called a mustache.

I encourage all students, parents, and staff to continue supporting and raising awareness for the Movember cause.

To help support the Movember movement, and to find out more information about Movember, I mustache you one more time to please visit http://moteam.co/team-nanjing.
