Ahoy mateys! Come Fly with the ES Musical: Peter Pan Jr.!
Join the pirates, mermaids and Lost Boys of Never Land as they tell the tale of a boy who won’t grow up and the girl who has to! This colorful rendition of Disney’s Peter Pan, based on the novel by J.M. Barrie, will run two performances in the Chevron Theater: February 17 at 3:30 and February 18 at 6:30. Tickets go on sale to the public on Thursday, February 11 in front of the ISB Admissions/Main Office. The cost is 100 baht for student and 200 baht for adults.
Grade 5 Book Sale
The Grade 5 Used Book Sale is an annual event that takes place in April. All proceeds from this fundraiser go to the Mercy Center in Klong Toey, where the money is used to support the underprivileged in attending school.
If you have any used books or magazines that are in good condition, we would love to help you recycle these books while at the same time contributing to such a worthwhile cause. Books can be dropped off at Room 232 in the Grade 5 Quad, or starting on February 29th, they can be put in the drop boxes located outside of the ES Library and Main Office.
Please be aware of what you are donating. They can be adult, teen, or children books, fiction and non-fiction. However, it would be great if you could refrain from giving any text books, instruction manuals, or books that are out-of-date.
ES After School Activities
This Semester’s After School Activity program will begin on Monday, February 29th.
Confirmations of ASA placement will be available online on February 12th.
There are still limited spaces available in some of our ASA. You can still register at the CAO but don’t delay! Remember, once the ASA schedule begins there are NO REFUNDS however, you may change your ASA choice once it is before your third session.
I am in the office daily from 7:30am – 9:30 if you have any questions or concerns.
