Dear Parents and Students,

As we all know, the world is facing many challenges and conflicts that have affected the lives of thousands of people, especially children. In light of these stressful conditions, it is important to appreciate the blessings we have in our lives and find ways to spread happiness and joy.

We have planned to host a special event for the Child’s Day on Monday November 20. This event is not only about having fun but also about spreading happiness and joy in a world that is in bad need for it. We will encourage our students to think of ways by which they can make a positive impact on the lives of children around the world. It could be through volunteering, donating to a children's charity, or simply spreading kindness and compassion wherever they go.

We have planned a range of activities for this special day that include:

• Several inflatable games


• DJ


• Animation team


• Tele-matches


• Popcorn and movie time.


• In class activity time to find ways to make a positive impact on the lives of children around the world


• A pencil case to color and keep for their personal use

(special cloth coloring acrylic markers will be provided, so students can reveal their artistic talents)

 

 

Please follow the color code for the day as per the following link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g-SBJWxQiZqh7D-V3nVi5VsKLqmREAhp/view?usp=sharing

 

As our commitment to support the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, a large portion of the financial proceeds from our Child’s Day will be donated to the Red Crescent. 

 

If your child is interested, kindly send 250 LE in an enclosed envelope clearly labeled with your child’s name and class due by Monday November 6th, 2023.

Students who will not be participating will not have a chance to share in the activities so kindly consider keeping them at home.

• Puberty Sessions for G6 & 10 – November 8 & 9

At EAIS we care for our students beyond academics and aim to grow healthy young citizens. We know that transitional ages are difficult and that students have questions about the physiological and emotional changes they are undergoing.

• Grade 6: the onset of puberty, emotional and physiological changes, hygiene, personal space


• Grade 10: emotional and physiological changes, hygiene, personal space

Boys and girls will be separated and the topics will be addressed in an educational, scientific, and respectful way by EAIS professionals who have had experience addressing these topics in a formal environment with students.

We understand that each home is different and that there may be families who wish to take the responsibility in addressing these issues on their own. Should you wish that your child NOT PARTICIPATE please send a WRITTEN NOTE by Monday November 6 so that the student be removed from the session.

Please expect that after the session students may have questions, so we encourage that you also keep the dialogue open at home.

Dear Egyptian Schools Community,

We hope this letter finds you well. As you may be aware, there is currently a humanitarian crisis in Palestine that has affected many families and communities. As a school community, we feel it is our duty to support those in need during this difficult time.

To show our support, we have decided on a number of actionable items to allow our community to feel that they can make a difference in such difficult times.

• The planned after school parties in EAIS, EBIS and IG will be canceled in honor of families facing loss.


• The school will conduct Salat al Gha’ib on a weekly basis.


• A large portion of any financial proceeds from upcoming school events will be donated to the Red Crescent. (ex. Cookie Activity, Family Day, Monday Canteens, etc)


• A large portion of all charity campaigns will be donated to the Red Crescent (currently Donate to Educate)


• In addition to this, we will also be opening a new line for donations directly to the Red Crescent. Each building reception will have a donation box where you can contribute to this cause. We encourage everyone to give what they can, no matter how small the donation may be. Every little bit helps.

(The Red Crescent is a humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance and support to those affected by crises such as the one currently happening.)

We believe that it is important for us as a school community to come together and support those who are in need. By doing so, we can make a positive impact and help those who are struggling during this difficult time.

 

Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

 

Sincerely,

Busses will leave the Kattameya Campus Thursday May 11^th at 2am (Wednesday night) and will be back Sunday May 15^th at 9pm

Objective: Students will be given a chance to explore one of the most beautiful cities in the world on this trip.  Through a range of both land and water activities students will return with stronger bonds and memories more special than they would have dreamed of.
