Student Led Conferences
Thank you, families, for joining us in student-led conferences over the last two days! We have thoroughly enjoyed observing parents and children in deep conversation, reflecting and celebrating learning growth. From student-driven portfolios, to reflection on challenges and celebrations, to sharing Math games and visiting the Specialists we hope you have enjoyed this opportunity to have a window into your child’s learning.

(Repeat) The 5th Grade Book Sale (Thursday/Friday April 27/28)
We’re back again! The 5th grade book sale is a yearly sale put on by the 5th graders with the help of the teachers, IAs, and parents. We are collecting books now through April for the sale.
The Funds raised from this charity go to the Mercy Centre in Klong Toey. It helps pay for the education for many underprivileged kids who cannot afford school supplies, tuition and uniforms. Last year we raised more than 100,000 baht, so of course this year we would like to beat that amount! Please start sending books and magazines to school with your child, or you may drop them off in the boxes outside of the ES Office.
