News to Note

It's another busy week! Please be sure to read about what we're learning and also note that I recently added many pictures from recent events, including the following: 

• Mother's Day Tea
• Field trip to DUCTAC
• Reading to KG1 for their Literacy Day
• And, many more other various activities 

Tomorrow, we will go to the Dubai Museum and the Sheikh Mohammed Center for Cultural Understanding. (You've all received all of the pertinent info. in the class What'sApp group.) We're looking forward to another fun day of hands on learning. 

Thanks for all of your wonderful continued support!! 

Book Drive

Do you have books you do not need anymore? Are you moving and want to pack less? 

Please bring your gently used books to the MS/HS or ES Reception Desks. 

As a Boy Scouts of America Eagle Project, Grade 10 student, Mills Hoyt, is collecting used books for a library he is creating for the Elite English School in Deira. The children attending this school are the children of laborers and they do not have a school library or the resources to create a library. Books from kindergarten to first grade level are wanted the most, but any books are acceptable! 

Thank you in advance for your kind support! 

A special urgent request...

A few little mice are busily working on preparing a small surprise for you; however, it involves pictures. I have what I need for many children, but I still need a picture from the following: 

• Salam
• Felicia
• Lamis
• Andreea
• Dora
• Max
• Olivia
• Rakaan
• Eita
• Yihyun
• Nia
• Iskander
• Omar 

The picture can be current or from the past. It should include you and your child (preferably just the two of you, if possible). Here's a nice example of me and my beautiful mother: 

And, if your name is not listed, it means I already have a picture of the two of you; however, if you have one you just love, then you can certainly send it in to school or email it to me. 

The size should be enough to fill a 3" by 4" vertical box, but I can always cut the picture down, if needed. It would be best if you emailed it to me, but hard copies also work. I really need the picture by tomorrow, if possible, as I'm likely traveling for the long weekend. (I'm so sorry for the late notice. I thought I had all the pictures I needed from all of our events, but I don't!) 

Thanks so much!
