Dear Students and Parents, 

Help Needed by ES Student Council

The Elementary School Student Council has planned a community service project that will happen over the next three weeks.

We are collecting clean newspapers to donate to The Cheshire Home India-Madras, Creating Opportunities for People With Disabilities.

We are planning to collect newspaper until May 22.
Collection boxes will be located in the following areas.

ES/Main Reception
ES/HS Library
ES/MS/HS Cafeteria

When you are finished reading your newspaper, drop it off in one of the collection boxes so it can be turned into something useful!

Thank you for your support.
ES Student Council

Operation Smile Yard Sale - a Message from the Club

This year, Operation Smile is conducting a yard sale on Friday 15th, May to raise money for cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries. Please donate items in good condition that you no longer use at home for other AISC families/maintenance staff to purchase. You can simply place the items in bins marked Operation Smile Yard Sale placed at the high school office and reception, the middle school office and the elementary reception. These items will be sold by Operation Smile volunteers and the profits will go to the organization. Or, you can purchase a table for Rs. 1500 and sell your own items and keep the proceeds of the sale. If you wish to buy a table or if you have any questions please contact Nivi Sriram at snivedita@aisch.org

Shoe Drive

Iniyan Kannan and a few of his friends have started a shoe drive.  Collection boxes can be found outside the HS office.  Please see their message below:

Driving by a slum everyday whilst returning home, I've seen children of all ages playing football on a field. It intrigued me how they played with sincerity and routine, but without equipment. One of these were shoes. Their lack of shoes inspired me to start the Shoe Drive which will hopefully turn into a success and promote a more hygienic and fun playing session for kids of the Foreshore Estate slum.  Any shoes will be accepted and will be donated to the slum.

Second Semester Exam Schedule Available

Please click here to access the second semester exam schedule.  Please note that we do not give exams early and, as such, families are advised to make their departure for summer after exams conclude.

Summer Opportunities for Students

The counselors continue to maintain and add to their blog with summer opportunities for students. Families who are interested in participating in summer programs should check out the Counselor's Blog on the HS Counseling Moodle page. There is a page dedicated to summer enrichment programs which the counselors are updating as new information comes to them. If you are aware of programs that you'd like to share publicly, please email information to Ms. McGlamery or Ms. Larsen.

Sincerely,
