English International School Newsletter of the 5th October 2022

Dear Parents,

As we have entered the month of October, please make note of the following information:

The Prophet Muhammed’s Birthday (Maouloud/Mawlid) 2022: Saturday, 8th October

As this holiday will begin on the evening of 7th October and end on the evening of 8th October, banks will be open on Friday and closed on Saturday. Therefore, school will be in session on Friday, 7th October.

World Food Day

FAO celebrates World Food Day each year on 16th October to commemorate the founding of the Organization in 1945. The 2022 theme is: Leave No One Behind. We discuss the importance of the day in school through various age-appropriate activities. This year, in particular, we take into account the global challenges which affect food security such as: climate change, conflicts and wars, increasing prices, ongoing pandemic and more.

Half-Term Holiday

Our half-term break will begin on Wednesday, 26th October. We will return to school on Thursday, 3rd November.

Lower School children are to be commended on their determined efforts to keep up with their belongings. We ask that parents help them maintain their progress by labelling (name tagging) their lunch and school bags, water bottles, clothing and towels.

Last but not least, we celebrate our E.I.S. teachers and teachers around the world on World Teachers’ Day (5th October) and acknowledge their invaluable contribution to society.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
