Dear Parents:

Thank you to all the parents who attended the Parent Coffee this past week. Boyz Sing of grade 6opened the morning with a fantastic performance, and we were extremely proud of theirachievement. During the remainder of the time it was great to have such a lively group sharingtheir thoughts and ideas with one another. The discussions were animated and insightful. We

hope that everyone left with at least one or two ideas to try.

The MS Student Council has been busily preparing for the upcoming Middle School Parties. Thefirst party on Friday, October 1 was for the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students. The second party onFriday, October 8 will be for the Grade 7 and Grade 8 students. Both events run from 5:00 7:00P.M. Permission slips have been distributed to students through Homebase. In order to attend,your child must submit a signed permission slip and purchase a ticket. Please be advised thatstudents are expected to attend the duration of the party. In the event that a student must leavebefore the end of the party, it is requested that a parent notify the office in writing or by phone inadvance. When informing the office of the early pick-up, please tell us who will pick up your childand the time so that the MS Office can inform security. Please understand that we request thisinformation to ensure the safety of the students who leave the event early. We encourage allstudents to attend their respective party and are looking forward to 100% participation. There willbe games, dancing and lots of fun to be had.

ISM is excited to be hosting this years ISTA Middle School Theatre Festival! The International Schools Theatre Association (ISTA)facilitates two MS festivals each year in Asia, which provide an amazing opportunity for international students from around theworld to engage in new theatrical experiences and to develop skills that will deepen their passion for performance. As a school,ISM has been a proud supporter and participator of ISTA, and we now have the opportunity to give the participants an experi-ence they will never forget! We will be hosting the first ever Musical Theatre ISTA festival, and we are very excited about wel-coming other international students to the Philippines and to our wonderful school.

The ISM ISTA Festival will take place November 19-21 (Friday to Sunday), and will involve as many as 100 students from other

countries, as well as our own ISM participants. As with any event, the whole ISM community has the opportunity to get involvedin this Middle School event. The most significant way for the ISM community to get involved is to provide housing for the visitingstudents. If you are able to host some students, you may contact the ATAC Office and/or the Fine Arts Office at [email protected] and/or [email protected] . Most guests will arrive on November 18th and will depart on either November21st or 22nd.
