Welcome back! I hope you each had a wonderful spring break!
"But we've already been back in school for a week now." Um, yes. (insert awkward smile here) I think I was so relaxed from my holiday that it's literally taken me a whole week to get back into the swing of things, so please forgive this delayed post and update. We also had a very busy week back at school. Just ask your sweetheart. I think I may have actually overworked them...that, or they, too, were trying to adjust to a post-holiday life. :)
So, now that I'm back up to normal-life speed (but still trying to salvage my tan), I thought I should let you know a few things that are happening this week:

So, now that I'm back up to normal-life speed (but still trying to salvage my tan), I thought I should let you know a few things that are happening this week:
- Pizza Day is Thursday, April 21. Forms were sent home on Thursday, so please be sure to return those (with money) by Tuesday. Pizza slices will not be sold on Thursday.
- The Little Mermaid is almost here! Be sure to get tickets soon, if you haven't already. Tickets are available at the MS/HS Reception Desks for AED 25. Showtimes are Wednesday, April 20, at 3:30 and 6:30 pm and Thursday, April 21, at 3:30 pm.
- ASAs for our last trimester are now in full swing. Please let me know if there are any changes or if you decide not to take part in the ASA you chose, as there is a waiting list for some ASAs. Here are some sweet pictures from my Art Club last trimester, if you're interested. We had a great time!
- Photo orders were sent home on Thursday. Please email Yvonneif you did not receive what you ordered.
- Save the Date: PS/ES Bingo Night will be next Thursday, April 28, at 6:30 pm.
Also, I want to take a moment to recognize those students who met or exceeded their March Madness Reading Goals: Andreea, Rakaan, Lyn, Eita, Yihyun, Emre, Gabriel, Almera, Nia, Iskander, Omar, and Gavin. Well done!!! I'm very proud of you!
To celebrate all of the fantastic reading, we enjoyed a pizza party on Thursday and the children were delighted. For those who met or exceeded their goal, they ate up to 3 pieces of pizza, received a piece of my homemade Chocolate Pistachio Fudge Tart, and a certificate.
We also enjoyed a class reward party on Thursday, as well. (Busy day!) Children enjoyed bringing their device to school and chewing some yummy and very chewy bubble gum. (I have to confess that I really love these days as I'm a huge fan of blowing enormous bubbles.) So, hopefully, you're darling came home very happy on Thursday. :)
Lastly, stay tuned as I'll be posting the weekly Assignment Sheet and News tomorrow night...and some pictures of my spring break. For now, though, it's time for bed.
