From the Director

 
 What I am excited about this week…
 
Last Chance to Buy Tickets for the PTA Pavilion Grand Opening Party! There are still a few tickets left for the PTA Pavilion Grand Opening Party on September 8. I hope you will join us for great company, great food, and great music in our GREAT new space! Friday is the last chance to buy advance tickets for K300 at the main office or at Friday Market. Remaining tickets will be available at the door for K350. I look forward to seeing you there.
 
A Much Bigger Campus! When you come to school on Friday morning (7 September) you will see a VERY different campus. The hoarding around the Pavilion site will begin coming down this afternoon, finally adding our newest property (at about 5 acres) to our campus. This site contains the Pavilion, our four new multisport external courts, and A LOT of green space. It will take a day or two to finish the paved walkway transitions onto the new site so on Monday, please feel free to go explore the new site. Please stick to the walkways since we are trying to let the new grass grow. I will be at the Pavilion on Monday from 07:30-08:30. Please come by and I’ll give you a little tour. See below for a bit more detail.
 
Tour of the Pavilion on Monday Morning! For those of you who cannot attend the Grand Opening of the Pavilion on Saturday night, please come for a tour of the site on Monday, 10 September at 07:30. I will be at the Pavilion with some tea and coffee and would be happy to show any interested parents around the site any time between 07:30 and 08:30. The easiest way to access the Pavilion is to walk up the main Primary School walkway past the Primary Office, although there is also a walkway next to the secondary school science building.
 
Holiday on 14 September! I have had a few parents ask about the school holiday on 14 September. This is neither a Zambian nor American holiday and was added to the calendar simply to break up the long stretch between the beginning of school and the October holiday. I hope you are able to spend a bit of time resting and relaxing with friends and family.
