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.

Pfrang Flower Vases

We are missing 19 of these vases that were used for the Pfrang Gala. Could you please return them to either my pigeon hole or to Kath’s? If you would like to buy it from the Pfrang community, it’s only about 20 rmb. Thanks,
Anna

Loud Hallways in the MYP

Hello MYP teachers,

Could we please make sure to keep to the exam schedule and avoid dismissing blocks early? It is a challenge to say on top of the release times, but no doing so is causing noisy corridors while other students are still in the midst of assessment.

Please and Thanks!
