News from Student Council

The Candy Cane Charity Drive Continues! 

The student council still has candy canes left from their recent candy cane drive, so they will be selling them for charity. 

You may purchase them (while supplies last) in the ES Foyer from Dec. 12-15th. The times are 7:15-7:45 AM and from 2:45-3:15 PM.  

Please consider purchasing candy canes and supporting Dubai Cares. Thank you! 

Souk Day

What: "Souk Day" This is a great day for students to use their business passes to purchase items. 

Why: To be rewarded for excellent work, self-control, time-management, and behavior 

When: Monday, December 12th (Each Souk Day is at the end of each trimester.) 

How you can help: Each student should bring in 10-15 small items. (These can be anything, from homemade or store bought cookies, to pencils, new or gently used toys, bookmarks, etc. Basically, anything that a child might enjoy.) 

We will be sharing our souk with 3JT's class, so children will have plenty to choose from! 

Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks so much in advance for your support. The children always really love Souk Day. :) 

An Invitation

As 2016 comes to a close and we prepare to have time off with our friends and families, we would like to celebrate the holidays together in 3LN. 

Please view this invitation and mark your calendars to join us, if possible. The invitation also includes important information about our class gift exchange. 

We are looking forward to a special time of festive holiday fun as a class family!
