Take a break from packing for your holidays and come join ES Panther Choir and ES Strings in their Festival of Lights on Thursday, December 19th at 6:30pm in the Chevron Theater. ES Students will present musical repertoire from six different cultures that use lights in their celebration. We hope to see you there!
Returning Books
During the next week, could you please help your child(ren) to look through their bedrooms and bookshelves to find books that belong to school. Children regularly borrow books from their classroom libraries and the bookroom. All these books have ISB stickers on the front cover. We would appreciate it of all these books could be returned before the winter break.

Cafeteria News…Did You Know…?

Every holiday and special occasion has a foundation built on traditions. The majority of these traditions are centered around food. Especially when we think of a New Years Eve Celebration, many traditions around the world include food which symbolize luck, prosperity, health and good fortune. Items to be found on such a Menu may be: Pork- it brings good luck and favorable fortune. If you are not a meat eater, so will any other treat in the shape of a pig do the same thing; Fish Scales or any dish with fish which symbolizes silver, hence precious metals of fine fortune; Bread or Cakes with trinkets baked inside, those who are lucky enough to end up with the trinket are the recipient of good fortune and luck; Eating 12 Grapes at the stroke of midnight, a good luck forecast grape for each month; Eating long, uncut noodles at 12 o’clock for an equally long life. From all of us at Epicure Catering, we hope you have a fantastic New Years Celebration which will bring you into the New Year with all the Well Wishes you desire, whatever your Menu may be. Enjoy.
(Repeat notice) After School Supervision – Reminder
Please ensure you know where your child is each afternoon and that maids and nannies understand ISB policy around supervision after school. For safety’s sake, ES students MAY NOT be on campus after school unless supervised by an adult. Thank you for your cooperation.
