Dear Parents:

Fall is finally here! We are halfway finished with the first 9 weeks of school and things seem to be moving along quickly and smoothly.

Our annual exchange trip with San Luis Potosi has begun. Our nine ambassadors are in Mexico and all are reported to be well, happy, and adjusting just fine. We are now anxiously awaiting the arrival of the SLP ambassadors! Please join us Monday morning and welcome them to our school.

Thank you for your participation in the “Run Program” so far. We have received $400.00 to date for our participation. We would like to invite you to participate in the Zoo Run, Red Ribbon Run and Tulsa Run! It is really a great family activity to do if you have never joined us!

Once again, I am implementing “School Talk Time”. This is a time where anyone and everyone can come to my office and discuss anything that has been on your mind. It could be a suggestion you have always wanted to make or a question that has been burning for a while. The time for this month will be on Wednesday, October 5th, at 9:00 AM. Please note my door is always OPEN to you anytime during the year, however this scheduled time was successful last year and some enjoy a specific time they can come.

The last week in October, EIS will participate in the “Sister City Celebration”. This is an annual celebration; however this year is special because Tulsa is signing Amiens, France as a “Sister”. EIS played a great role in this and was made possible primarily because of our exchange program. Tulsa Global Alliance, our oldest partner has asked for our participation in two of the events. Nine 5th graders will participate in the Opening Ceremony and our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade French students will participate in the Signing Ceremony.

Please mark your calendars for Parent Teacher Conferences which will be held on November 3rd and 4th. Our goal is for 100% participation in our conferences.

Thank you for all your support!

Stacy Strow, Principal
