Capsule coffee at staff lounge

Dear NIS Staff,

We are enthusiastic to offer you high quality coffee at an affordable price in the staff canteen area. Unfortunately we have noticed users bringing capsules from other resources than the dispensing machine. Please note that it is not allowed to use any other capsules for the coffee machine besides the ones coming from the dispensing machine. The machines are highly sensitive and we cannot apply for product guarantee under these circumstances. On the other hand, we do encourage you to bring your used capsules to us for the Nespresso capsule recycling program!

Kind Regards,

Chartwells Team

Student Council elections

Hello, Grade 6 to 9 Students!

This week in Advisory, you will be voting for your grade’s Student Council representative! 

Your advisor will provide you with a ballot to vote and your advisory liaison will then email results to sarahnappi@nanjing-school.com.

Select one student from your own grade you feel would best advocate for what other students need. These students should be hard-working and excited to be involved in the community. 

Please write down the student’s name and grade on the piece of paper provided to you.

We had a couple volunteers so if you would like to vote for one of them, they are listed below. 
Grade 6 : Victoria Warm
Grade 9 : Yoonji Chae

If not, select students you feel would be best qualified for the position.

If you are elected to Student Council, you will be contacted and asked if you would be interested in the position. Student Council meetings will be at lunch on Tuesdays.

Happy voting!
Sarah Nappi & Willy Wang
