Week Ahead: Jan. 22-26

So I’m thinking coffee might be in store for several of us tonight … lots of coffee!  If for some reason you are up and bored, you can always come join us for the lock in.  Or if you are up early and want a few pancakes, swing by at 6am.  Regardless, be sure to thank Stacy, Eric, Natalie, Gil, David R, Ryan, Erin, Greg, and Bonnie for helping chaperone.

Monday Mekong Honor Band Concert: We are so excited to be hosting the 2nd annual Mekong Honor Band this Sunday and Monday at SSIS.  Thanks to Stephen Ada’s leadership, this new organization is thriving.  This year there are 6 schools (I think?) participating including UNIS who is flying down for the weekend.  The band features both middle school and high school students.  We will be providing the audience for the Honor Band.  Gr 6 and 7 have confirmed attendance; Gr 8 is working out whether they can or not (they are trying to do HS scheduling as well).  Thank you in advance for giving these talented musicians a great audience.  Please take attendance and move as quickly as possible to the auditorium.

Project X:  Please be sure to review the Project X slideshows and schedule.  If you have questions and/or concern, please ask right away.  This is going to be a very exciting experience for all of us.  I’m really looking forward to seeing it all play out.  Thank you for all the work you have been doing to make it a reality.

Tripod Survey Reflection Meetings:  Thank you to all who have scheduled their Tripod Survey reflection meeting.  If you haven’t done that yet, please use the find a time feature in google and send me a calendar invite.  (information about the reflection and documents are in previous blog posts)
