Songkran Assembly
Our students will participate in our annual Songkran Assembly next Friday. Due to space restrictions and safety regulations, this is a student only event and parents will not be admitted to the theater. We will however, upload photos onto our Flickr pages. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
NaNoWriMo Update
Last November, many elementary students participated in National Novel Writing Month and worked hard all month to achieve their word count goals. Since then, some students have been busy revising, editing and preparing their novels for publication. We will have a NaNoWriMo Celebration and Book Launch in May to recognise these student authors, so in order to be prepared for this, the deadline for publishing NaNoWriMo novels is Songkran. All participating students should have a copy of the publishing instructions, but if you need a copy, please email Selena Gallagher at selenag@isb.ac.th
