Letter from PA Arusha Dear Parents, The Parents' Association has been busy the last few months evaluating the canteen survey results and making a plan for canteen improvements for next year. Thanks to all the support given to the PA for sales of food and drink, as well as the recent yard sale. Special thanks this year to Darlene Sanders, Robert and Colette Foort, India Ellis, and Elly Van den Oetelaar. Hala Dakik has represented the PA for many years and is stepping down from this position. As a result, we are seeking two additional members to take a position with the Parents' Association. Our main work will be coordinating canteen changes (August/September) and organizing the International Festival in early March. Please consider joining the PA- there will be exciting changes next year! Please let us know if you can offer your time or contact us if you want to know details for meetings and projects. Thanks, Hala Dakik [email protected] Vasudha Garg [email protected] Carolynn Fischer [email protected]
