NatureFest: We are thrilled to invite parents and students to the 3rd annual SSIS NatureFest! This event is meaningful for us at SSIS as it reminds us to slow down and foster connections with our natural environment. Nature learning has numerous proven benefits for students: decreased stress, increased focus and better motor skills, to name a few! Together with you we can instill a love for our environment and our planet. The Amazing NatureFest is a fantastic opportunity for our community and families to come together and enjoy the great outdoors at Minhang Culture Park on October 18!
Featured Assembly: K2 Bamboo is making headlines as our first featured Assembly for the 2024-2025 academic year. Featured Assemblies are not only wonderful showcases of our students’ range of skills but also times for home-school discussions. K2B Families will soon receive an invite to join their learner on Monday, October 28.
We warmly invite you, along with family and friends, to join us for the 2024 Amazing NatureFest. It is going to be an adventure!
We look forward to seeing you on October 18!
Warm regards,
Sonia Barghani, Ed.D.
