It’s been busy, it’s been exciting, and it has involved a lot of help from the parents of 5KP.
Thank You Parents. Students, please give your mother and father a big, friendly hug from me!
I am so happy you came along today to help us out at Expo, Xie Xie to Flora, Brian, Marilyn, Kristen and Olivia for coming along today. We could not have done it without your amazing assistance, patience and time.

And in other news for those of you STILL with us after all this viewing…

Shanghai American School will close one hour early on Wednesday, September 29th and Thursday, 30th.
The Shanghai American School administration has been informed that the Shanghai Municipal Government will be closing surface streets and some bridges in the downtown areas of Shanghai starting tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.

Our transportation coordinators and the YEAP Transportation company have confirmed that this will severely limit many of our bus routes from both campuses. Based on this information, we will be closing school at 2:00 p.m. both days. There will be no after school activities on either day.

Please contact your building principal or your supervisor if you have any questions.

Please check out the Elementary School Principals Blog for information about our Ugandan Fundraiser that will be coinciding with UNITED NATIONS Day on October 22nd. Our children will be taking part in a walk-a-thon that day, more details to follow. There is also information there regarding a visit to our school by Jason Ohler. Dr. Jason Ohler is a speaker, writer, teacher, researcher, and lifelong digital humanist who is well known for the passion, insight, and humor he brings to his presentations, projects and writings. He will be working with our students in class after the October Break and there is an opportunity for you to meet with him as well if you are interested.

Have a great week, enjoy your October Break and thanks for loaning me your great kids for the year…
