Dear Parents,

December is upon us, and this week has been a full and rewarding week for our students. Thank you to everyone who joined us Wednesday for our Winter Concert. A special thanks to Ms. Deb Lee, Mr. Jason Kennedy and Mr. Cary Stewart for their support for our band and choir students. This weekend, many of our choir and band students will be in Mumbai for the annual ASIAC music festival. Their concert performance will be broadcast here at 3 PM pm Saturday. ASIAC Music is much more than just a performance, so this is a show you do not want to miss! ASIAC Basketball and Table Tennis are in Delhi for their tournament. You can follow live streaming of matches, see scores and follow the team's progress at this link
