I hope to be back Monday morning for the start of Reading Week! Lunch Orders: Please remember to follow our lunch and snack guidelines HERE. Also, a reminder that Shady Lunch can only be ordered from the weekly order sheet, and food from his other menus cannot be delivered by Shady to the school for lunch. Class Photos and Individual Portraits: Next week, we are having the individual and class photos. Order forms will go out with sample pictures the following week.

They would not appreciate me putting this in, but here they are all the same!:  Library Volunteers: On Monday the carpets and wiring will be completed. On Tuesday, bookcases will be moved back to the library. As of Wednesday, there will be a lot of book sorting and cleaning to do. If you have some time you can give to help arrange books in their new places, please get in touch with Colette or Jackie at librarian@isd.sn. I am sure they would like any assistance you can give, as we get the new space up and running. We have appreciated your patience the last two weeks. Assemblies this Week: Thanks to Ms. Gina who organized the KG assembly this week, and to Mr Ishmael, who ran a most entertaining performance, including CORE man and the wonderful creativity juice!: Atlantic Rowers: Our Oar Northwest rower friends are approaching Cape Verde on their journey across the Atlantic.
