WIN AN IPAD OR BALLOON RIDE! | |
In an effort to encourage as many students, parents, siblings, grandparents and friends of CIS to come to our International Day Fair, the International Day Committee has decided to keep the entry fee low and instead we hope to raise funds to support PTA functions (field trips, after school enrichment, etc) by holding this raffle.
Your lovely children brought home 10 raffle tickets which can be sold to friends and family for a minimum of a $5 donation to the CIS PTA! These tickets are for our International Day Fair raffle of an Ipad or a Hot Air Balloon Ride (Thank You, Rice Family!).
If your family chooses not to participate, please return the tickets. All ticket stubs, money and unused tickets can be deposited in the PTA box mounted to the wall in the front hall.
Thank you!

A Note from Music Teacher, Robyn Clarke | |
|
Dear Parents,
|
Our music classes have been working really hard to learn our dances for International Day and we are excited to share them with the whole community.
The performances will be from 3 - 4 during Saturday's event. We will start with Kinder and work up from their traveling all over the globe through dance and song.
It is very important that all students arrive at the stage area by 2:50 and look for your teacher to sit together. If you are a second and third grader, please meet me in the library to organize our places.
If you are unable to make the performance on Saturday please notify your classroom teacher ASAP so we can plan accordingly. 6th and 8th graders will need a note from parents for an excused absence, as this is part of your grade.
Lastly, here is a list of each class and what they should wear - but please just get as close as you can, no need to run out and make purchases.
Remember that
- Dancers should be able to move safely and
- Dancers should be comfortable.
Student Dress:
- K - White top, dark bottoms - skirts/ shorts/pants
- 1 - White top/ girls - dark skirts/boys - dark pants
- 2/3 - White top/girls - black skorts or shorts/boys - black shorts
- 4 - Bright colors
- 5 - All Blue
- 6 - nice clothes - any color
- 8 - girls - TBD after seeing skirts/boys - black bottom and black or white top
Please feel free to email me with any questions - Thanks so much - Looking forward to a great event!!!
Charge up those camera batteries! :)
