TIPS Journal January 9, 2023
on the school year so far
Greetings from Tokyo International Progressive School
Happy New Year of the rabbit. I hope 2023 is very good to all of you. Welcome back to the school routine! It was fun seeing everyone again today. Now to finish up our first semester, which ends January 24.
A big thank-you to the families that made International Day in December a fun and delicious day, and to Mr. Nabi and Ms. Koh who led a kite making and kite flying activity. There are photos below of the day.
We are preparing for the March 10 Variety Show. Our aim is to be inclusive, and each student will be invited to appear in an act. Everyone does not enjoy basking in stage lights, however, and we are sensitive to that. Mr. Wan and Mr. Mondino are co-directors of our Variety Show this year.
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2023!
All the best,
Lyn Sato
