ES Principal ENotes: March 29, 2016

Dear Parents,

I hope you enjoyed the beautiful spring weather in Warsaw this weekend. It was truly an inspirational way to celebrate the Easter holiday.

As we move into more beautiful weather, please be reminded that students who stay after school to play on the playground or in the cafeteria-even if they are waiting for soccer or another activity- must be actively supervised by an adult. Any children who are not supervised will be sent to our pay-for Afterschool Care program. Your support is appreciated.

Just a reminder that our new PYP Coordinator Miranda Rose will be here on Wednesday to present to parents. Please plan to join us in the MPR at 8:45.

Have a wonderful week!
Jen

1st Annual ASW Chess Tournament

ASW is very proud and excited to announce that we will host the 1st annual ASW Chess Tournament on April 8 to 9. This endeavor represents a rich integration of the Polish schools' community with the ASW community and commemorates the 90th anniversary of the esteemed Polish Chess Federation.

Following the success of the HS Chess Club, which meets every Wednesday in Matt Popovich’s classroom, members of the club, in particular grade 11 student Sebastian Soltysik, forged a relationship with the Polish Chess Federation and Polish Grandmaster Agnieszka Brustman to organize a tournament which will showcase the best and brightest high school players from ASW and around the region.

This tournament promises to be one of the more unique and exciting events ASW’s community has ever seen, and we cordially and enthusiastically invite everyone to attend. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact Tournament Director Sebastian Soltysik at [email protected] or Stephen Sidaway.

This year's ASW Middle School production of Bye Bye Birdie is coming to our stage in three short weeks.Bye Bye Birdie is one of the most entertaining and popular Broadway musicals of all time!

The singer, Conrad Birdie, is an Elvis Presley type who is beloved by fanatical teenage fans all across the country. For one final publicity stunt Conrad's manager Albert and his faithful secretary Rose Alvarez make a plan for Birdie to sing a song and give a kiss to one lucky American teenager, Kim MacAfee on live television! The show is loaded with laughs, surprises, and big production numbers.

This exciting and colorful show will be brought to life on stage through the incredible talents of 60 singing and dancing middle school students.
