Dear Students:
The annual CCV Diaper Drive starts this week. ISM has a long history of supporting this worthy organization. Bring diapers
to your Home Base or purchase biodegradable diapers through the Cashier to continue to continue our support.
The ISM-PTA New Book Fair will also take place this week in the FAT Lobby. Be sure to stop by for some good books to
read over the fast-approaching December Break.
Don’t miss the MS Concert this Thursday, November 25 at 5:00 P.M. in the FAT. Come and see your classmates make
excellent music.
There is no school on Monday, November 29 in observance of the great Philippine hero Andrés Bonifacio. Enjoy the 3-day
weekend!
In the coming weeks, your teachers will be asking you to complete a survey in each class. The surveys will be anonymous,
and we are asking all students to complete the survey in order to:
1. get your thoughts on the ways that you are learning
2. learn what you think the teachers can do to help you better understand
There will be space on the survey for you to write comments. If you have an idea of how a teacher can help you learn
better, please write a sentence or two. Please remember that your comment should be respectful and help your teacher
plan better for your learning.
