(Repeat) NaNoWriMo Celebration and Book Launch
When: 29th May from 2:30 – 3:30pm
Where: ES MPR
Back in November, around 150 elementary students participated in the fun, frantic novel writing challenge of NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month. By the end of the month, those students had collectively written more than half a million words! Now, six months on, many of those students are published authors. They have revised, edited and formatted their novels, designed their covers, written their blurbs and completed the publishing process. The Celebration is an opportunity to recognise the effort and achievements of these young writers, browse the collection of new books, and eat cake!
(Repeat) The ES Music Shares Are Back! Starting end of May
At the end of the year, ES Music will host a “Music Share,” a time for students to perform music, drama, or dance and share with an audience of parents and their peers. Students are invited to perform a 2-3 minute piece that they have prepared outside of music class to share with their peers. Parents are welcome to join us for this event, which will be held in the music room 4-115. The schedule and sign-up form for this year’s Music Share can be found here.
(Repeat) If You Know you are Leaving ISB
Families who are leaving ISB at the end of the school year are asked to inform the school as soon as possible using the official Notice of Withdrawal Form. This helps us prepare school records for your child and with planning for next year. Completed forms can be dropped off at the ES Office.
