Due to a screaming success Wutaishan will be hosting a Tug-of-War competition- round two. This will be held on Friday, February 13th from 1:25 to 1:55 in the green gym.

We will allow teams of mixed grade levels from grade 2 to 5. Three students from each grade level will form one team and we hope to provide a number of opportunities to show your strength.

Come on out with great spirit and power to support your teams.

Staff  are most welcome to participate in a fun spirited teacher round but no points will be given.

See you there.

Dear All,

This year’s Chinese New Year assembly is on Friday, February 13, happening in just two weeks.  Can all homeroom teachers please remind your students or send notices home for dressing up in traditional Chinese clothes for that day? We’ll have dragon/lion dances, exciting Wei Feng drums, and folk dancers performing in front of the Academic Building. We’ll also have folk art and crafts vendors exhibiting their arts and products in the Foyer. The students can also bring some money and buy goodies they like. Please find the assembly schedule and program in the attachment.

Just a quick reminder to MYP teachers that I will be out learning about the rich cultural heritage of Nanjing with Grade 8’s all day tomorrow. Juan said that he is happy to do both of our jobs tomorrow since he basically already does every other day anyway. Perfect!

Thanks to Marina for the new look in the duty schedule. It should be easier to read and includes where to go in case there is an indoor break/lunch.
