April 16-20

Dear ES Team,

Congratulations to Dave and Roxanne Ross on a very successful event last Saturday night. They raised enough money to fund 50 bicycles, 50 bike pumps and 50 bike helmets! Events like this are not only fundraisers—but they are “friend raisers”, too! Thanks for bringing people together for a great cause!:)

As you know, we are celebrating our 20^th Anniversary on tomorrow after school.  Mr. Sylte is encouraging everyone to wear their 20^th anniversary shirt—and he also wants everyone to know there will be visitors walking around the campus– and possibly through our classrooms  (including our board chair).

Friday Afternoon Schedule: 

4:30 – 5:00 – reception outside the auditorium – “meet and greet”

5:00 – 6:00 – short ceremony – mostly student/adult performances; only two “speeches” and neither of them long

6:00 – 6:30 – free flowing cocktails (beer/wine) in the garden area

 

Thank you to our talented TA’s for volunteering to perform for everyone!:)

This weekend SSIS is hosting The Early Years Conference: A Joyful Life.  Best of luck to our presenters: Marjon Barton, Charlotte Cannell, Tim Dorn, Tina Ratliff, Elaine Eastwood, Jacob Humes, Melissa Martin, Amy Barrett, Nicky Sandmann, and MS teacher Andrea Khambalia.

 

Divisional News:

• This is a new help desk link for us to use called SSIS Redmine Service Desk. Please use this for facilities’ request and if you are requesting our photographer to attend an event.  If you request the photographer, Mr. Dzim (our photographer) will email you directly to confirm. Here is an article stored on the SSIS Link  that explains the help desk work request.  The fields are explained to alleviate vagueness of terms.  Please take a look.
• Please take photos of special events to share on our e-boards, with our marketing department, and with Truc for our yearbook file.
