Mid-Autumn Festival
For those of you new to Shanghai, or to Chinese culture, you can find out more about the Mid-Autumn (Moon Festival) here. The festival is the reason that school will be closed for us all next Monday, enjoy your break. In the meantime, thank you to the parents who will be joining us in Project Area 5 this Wednesday at around 9.15 (our session starts at 9.30 am) We look forward to seeing you help us celebrate the Festival with our Chinese teachers leading the way.
Founders Day Celebrations
I am sure by now you have heard that this is SAS’s 100th year! What an amazing year to be able to say you were a student at our great school. We are hoping that every 5th grader, and indeed every Elementary and Middle school student and staff member will dress up in appropriate clothing for that day. We will be participating in a whole school assembly as well as a large parade and we would love to see you there (you are also welcome to dress up). Costume ideas could include wearing long socks and black shoes with short pants, braces over a white button-down shirt or a dress from the period around the early 1900’s. Some suggestions are below modeled by an up and coming young starlet!
If you would like me to help you out with ideas, let me know as I have been using a tailor from the Science and Technology market and she is very good. She has made many of the costumes you will see the teachers wearing on that day and her name is Shanna, stall number K3-25 close to the car-park underneath the Science and Tech museum.
