Grimm School Drama Shock!

PARENTAL ADVISORY!!!

Parents beware! If you cherish your childhood memories of Disney fairy fantasies, where the prince gets the girl and the monsters are cute and lovable, keep your children away from the latest NIS school production! Murder follows murder, eyes are pecked out, toes are cut off, hearts are eaten live on stage, witches are boiled alive, queens die painful deaths in blood-filled cast iron dancing shoes. The whole auditorium resounds to the deafening sound of screams and shrieks – and that’s just the actors. It’s horrible, parents, horrible! No child should be allowed to witness such terrors! Keep them at home tomorrow night and show them Barbie!

The place to stay away from is the school theatre, the time to avoid is 7pm. Those who make the mistake of arriving early will be unlucky enough to get a seat with a full, uninterrupted view of the hideous events unfolding on stage.

Green team Vegetable sale moved to today

Yesterday, the weather was not permitting so the Green Team vegetable sale did not take place.

The vegetable sale will take place today ( thursday May 28th) and the trolly will be out in the center foyer at 4 PM. The mint, rosemary and coriander will be available at no cost.

The Green Team will be selling small Basil plants for 5 RMB so please consider buying Basil for your home and having fresh Basil leaves on demand.

Vegetable Sale today in center foyer

Weather permitting, there will be another vegetable sale in the center foyer at 4 PM this afternoon.    (Wednesday May 27th).

The Green Team would like to apologize for mistakes made last week in the vegetable sale.
It turns out that the radishes were not very fresh. The Green Team knew that they were grown out of season but we had no idea that the radish tasted like wood.

As a gesture to our customers, the Green Team will offer free spices and herbs this afternoon.
Rosemary, coriander and mint will be freely available this afternoon to anyone who would like to spice up their dinner.

Fresh Organic Vegetables

There will be some fresh organic vegetables on sale in the center foyer at 4 PM.

” Fresh” means that the vegetables were picked from garden at 3:30 PM

“Organic” means that they are grown in the school garden without any chemical fertilizers or chemical pesticides.

Pick up a bag of vegetables for 5 RMB and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
