Fruit Popsicle Thursdays!
Dear AIS families,
With the end of the academic year coming closely to an end, the PTO team would like to spread some joy amongst AIS West students.
Every Thursday, until the end of the year, there will be an ice-cream cart located around the school for students to purchase a fruit popsicle. The price of each popsicle is EGP 50. A portion of the proceeds will be fundraised for the PTO to support its ongoing community activities.
Every Sunday, your child will go home with an envelope to sign up for your child’s popsicle and to make the payment. Please make the exact payment of 50 EGP. The envelope needs to be returned to your child’s homeroom teacher by Tuesday of every week. Please be informed that payments can not be made on Thursdays, as the ice cream vendor will avail pre-ordered popsicles only.
The schedule for the fruit popsicle days is as follows:
Monday, May 23rd /Tuesday, May 24th Payments due for the 1st round of popsicles Thursday, May 26th Popsicles day 1 Monday, May 30th/ Tuesday, May 31st Payments due for the 2nd round of popsicles Thursday, June 2nd Popsicles day 2 Monday, June 6th to Tuesday, June 7th Payments due for the 3rd round of popsicles Thursday, June 9th Popsicles day 3
Let’s have fun, spread joy, and get a healthy treat!
Sincerely,
PTO Team
