TIPS Journal September 1, 2022
on the school year so far
Greetings from Tokyo International Progressive School
With the new school year comes a new-and-improved student ID card appearance. The upgraded ID cards will be distributed around the middle of September. If you need one for transportation (or other) purposes before then, please ask our office and we are happy to provide a temporary one.
About the Tokyu Coding Club offering on Tuesdays, each student was given a registration form on Demo Day (August 26). Registration is ongoing, so students may join throughout the year. It is our only club that requires a fee.
As always, any questions, please ask! You may reply to this message to reach me.
All the best,
Lyn Sato

STUDENT COUNCIL ACTIVITY REPORT
With several new faces in the Student Council this year, we started things off by assigning different roles for each of our members. Some of us have already managed to make new changes!
The lunch duties are adapting to the slightly different system, and are serving various lunch menus every day.
Monday: Yoshizawa bento
Tuesday: Ryuen
Wednesday: Big Boy
Thursday: Yoshizawa bento
Friday: Shake Shack
In terms of special events, the most recent one being planned is an outdoor event in the Tamagawa fields. Each event organized by the Student Council has a goal to raise money for the school, and to let the students enjoy fun activities with their peers. More information will be shared to students and parents once each of the events are decided, so please stay tuned!
