Green Team Vegetable/Flower Sale

The rains have finally stopped and so the Green Team will have its last sale of the year. There will be freshly cut sunflowers, green pepper plants, basil, cucumbers and other assorted vegetables.

The vegetables will be available in the center foyer at 3 PM.  Support the green team and its quest for a healthy planet.

Ukuleles Have Arrived!

Wow! That was just in time! Seven ordered ukuleles have arrived in my room. The price tags are attached to their very nice bags (even with music note zip pulls!). I have the list of who ordered what, just in case you forget.

From Jakarta…

Almost every day, someone at NIS asks me about Neil and Ferdi and I know that some of you support them on facebook and twitter. Yesterday afternoon my previous boss went to visit Neil and Ferdi in prison, before he left Indonesia for good. I asked him to give our best wishes. Neil asked Paul to pass on to us at NIS their thanks. He said it meant so much to them to know that people around the world cared about their dreadful predicament. There is now a website you might visit if you are interested in how things are going. Many thanks!

Ukuleles NOT HERE

I didn’t want to get your hopes up. The staff ukuleles were ordered, but they haven’t arrived yet. I have chased this up with the music store and they are on their way. I imagine some of the ukuleles will arrive after staff have left the school, which is unfortunate. I’m assuming they will arrive sometime next school year.

Sunflowers on a rainy day.

Weather permitting, the Green Team will be having its last garden sale today.  There will be some vegetables but the highlight of the sale will be sunflowers.  Buy some cut sunflowers and brighten up your home at the end of the school year.

There will also be fresh basil and cucumbers for the first time this year.

Support the Green Team and our quest for an organic future.

PYP Mediators

The PYP mediators have finished their first successful semester solving conflicts on the playground. In just five months these incredible 4th and 5th Graders solved 41 conflicts involving over 60 students. That’s 60+ kids who were able to return to class or play with a smile rather than a scowl. If you see any of our fabulous mediators (see photo) in the halls this last week, please congratulate and thank them for their commitment to making NIS a better and more peaceful place.
