RSVP for the Fall Celebration!!!
The date will be Wednesday, September 20th, from 3:00pm – 6:00pm.
Because we had such a positive response from doing smaller regional events, we will continue that trend and return to the bowling alleys we visited last year. There are 4 locations throughout the metroplex for you to choose from (see the map below). Each location will be able to host a maximum of 200 guests for bowling (first come, first served) and snacks.
If you do not wish to participate in the activities provided, you may leave your campus after dismissal as you would on a traditional Wellness Wednesday. We recognize and appreciate that “relaxing” means different things for each person and for some it is social time to connect with colleagues and for others they welcome additional personal time. Remember, these events are first come, first serve. Also, please remember that we pay for these events based on the number of people that RSVP. If you do RSVP, please make sure you are able to attend as it is always frustrating each year to see dollars wasted that were pre-paid to venues based on rsvp counts. If you do not wish to RSVP, no action is required.

A Message From the Director
Hello Dream Team,
Teacher
Shambhavi Singh
'Teacher' - a word that takes me back to the start,
The start of my very first day at school.
I tightly clenched my mother's hand,
I was afraid to let her go.
But suddenly somebody held my other hand
and all my fear flew 'cause there was someone to understand.
She wiped my tears and took me to class.
It's when my grooming starts.
I understood that a teacher is the second mother or father I had,
For which I'm still glad.
I am glad that I lived under their guidance.
They taught me all, all they had.
All the manners and values I have are just because of them.
In my growing life, they are the stem.
Like a tree, I have reached heights,
For my strength re-unites.
Teachers are my preachers,
They'll live in my heart forever.
For they have given me strength to endeavor.
They are my most precious treasure.
Remember, you are more than just a teacher! Do you believe it? Do you receive it? If not, you should!
The Dream Team Will Fight!
Sincerely,
Andrea
MYP Dean
