TIPS Journal February 5, 2021
keeping our families in the school loop
Greetings from Tokyo International Progressive School
Hello from the principal's desk.
"Over the moon" is how we at school are feeling about the success of our crowdfunding. Thank you so much to our donors. Yes, donors gave resources, but they also gave moral support and faith in what we do.
Even more financial support came from our Activity Committee and Entrepreneurship (ACE) class, which raises small amounts of money on a daily basis. The students of ACE class made the decision to make a very generous donation to buy and install a remotely controlled, permanently mounted projector that will project from the ceiling of the Common Room in the new campus. A photo below shows me handing over a small token of the school's appreciation to each of the workers of ACE. Their work on barbecues, movies, the student store and our lunch service allowed us to get this projector. Thank you, students!
On another note, I’ve been hearing from parents about some issues their teenagers and children are having at home, and was wondering if a casual group session online with other parents with the school counselor, Ms. Emiko Kakimoto, to talk about how other families are handling and coping with these issues would help. If anyone’s interested, please contact Ms. Kakimoto at emakpsych@gmail.com !
Good luck.
Any questions, please ask!
Sincerely,
Lyn Sato
Principal
