Why Thai Parent Workshop
Olga Steklova
olgas@isb.ac.th
All Thai parents are warmly invited to join our workshop entitled “Why Thai”. This is a repeat of last year’s workshop and is dedicated to the importance of Thai as a native language in the lives of our children. We believe that a strong native language that is used for a variety of purposes is an asset and allows our children to become successful learners. The workshop will give us all a chance to engage in conversations and sharing of ideas about maintaining a high level of Thai language at home. It will be held on October 19, Friday, in the ES Multipurpose Room (MPR) from 7:30 to 9:00. We hope to see you there!
International Day
Amy Lobner, Sharane Sherman or Cory Fox
escoord@isb.ac.th
International Day is a fun and educational day to celebrate ISB’s diversity. We have 53 countries represented in our Elementary School. For those new to ISB, we will transform many of our ES classrooms into countries to celebrate different cultures, food, dress, language, music, geography, etc. Students are invited to wear a costume representative of their home country to school that day. Throughout the week (November 26-29), students are invited to wear country t-shirts instead of their uniform or P.E. uniform shirts. A country t-shirt represents a country or place you have visited with your family.
The day begins with an international parade down “main street”, or in our case the hallway from the track to the Chevron Theater, where we will have our International Assembly. (Due to fire codes and limited space, this is a students only assembly). From there, our children will return to their grade level classrooms where parents have prepared wonderful country celebrations.
All parents are encouraged to take part in creating this amazing learning experience for our students. We are looking for people who either want to host a room, co-host a room but need to find someone to partner with, or just help out in a country room. You don’t need to be from the country to help out. Hosting a room can be as simple as putting up pictures and decorations from the host country and a game, song or dance. To volunteer as a helper in a room you would be offering support for the setup/clean up and helping the host run different activities on International Day.
International Day is scheduled for November 30th. Our first PTA coordination meeting will be October 15th at 10 am in MPB2. If parents want to get involved they can either come to the meeting on the 15th or send us an email at escoord@isb.ac.th . Alternatively, they can talk to any of the PTA representatives, Amy Lobner, Sharane Sherman or Cory Fox.

We are almost half way through our After School Activity program!
Time is flying by and our kids are having such fun! There are limited spaces available in some of our ASA. You can still register and a fee pro rata will be arranged for you but don’t delay! Most of ASA have already hosted their 4th session so there are no longer any changes permitted.
I am in the office daily from 1:30pm – 3:30pm if you have any questions or concerns.

The ES Musical ASA has started with almost 80 students last Friday afternoon! We’re very excited to announce that this year’s musical will be “Honk!” which tells the story of the Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen. Because of Parent Teacher Conferences there is no ES Musical ASA this week. We start up again next week and will be meeting in the Chevron Theater. For more information about the ES Musical ASA check the Musical’s page on the blog here.
Lost and Found Display
The PTA will be having a display of found items collected in the central Lost and Found on Friday, October 19, 2012 in the MS/HS Cafeteria from 9:00am-1:00pm. Please remind students to look at the display and to retrieve their items. The PTA will try to contact its owners of items with names and will keep these items on the PTA office for one week. Items without names and unclaimed will be donated to charity.

However, during the school day from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, the playgrounds are to be used only by students for scheduled recess. This includes the PK/Kinder playground. After 1:00 PK dismissal, the playground should only be used by Kindergarteners for their scheduled recess. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Cafeteria News…Did You Know…?

We are proud to announce that our Fresh Seasonal Fruit Smoothies are one of the most popular, nutritious beverages at the Grind. Because there is such enthusiasm around them, many of you have come to me with wonderful suggestions of adding additional fantastic fruits such as whole raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. The berry suggestions could be endless! So why have we not added them? For 5 thoughtful reasons: 1. Fresh fruits carry more nutrients, as they have ripened on the trees for longer as they have less to travel. 2. Buying local fruits supports the local economy in which we live. 3. We drastically reduce our carbon footprint on the globe as we are not using the vast amount of transportation and precious resources it takes to move them that far. Not to mention the added risk of contamination as the produce is moved from place to place. 4. Enjoying local fruits also keeps us more in check with the seasons, which naturally point us in the direction of the foods we should be enjoying at certain times of the year. 5. We are living in a country blessed with an array of fresh, tropical, extremely nutritious fruits. We should tap in to this bounty as it is available to us at our front door step.
Look for the feature smoothies of the month as we strive to stay creative with what is available to us in tune with the existing seasons. Enjoy.
