From the Director

What I’m excited about this week…

1. Board of Directors Nomination Deadline Extended! We will be holding elections for the Board of Directors during their meeting on 16 April. We are short of the number of nominations we need, so please consider running for one of the four vacancies. To run, you need to be nominated by two members of the parent association (via a short form from Shantall) and submit a short biography that will be published in the Leopard’s Tale. The deadline for nominations has been extended to 11 April. To learn more about being a board member, please read this article. You can also find out directly by speaking to a board member or emailing board@aislusaka.org.
2. AISL Logo Review! As part of our recent review of the school’s mission and vision, we have decided to review our current school logo. Unfortunately, over the years the logo has morphed into a few different forms and colors so that we now have multiple versions of it. We would like to pull all of those back to a single unifying school logo. To that end, we are offering interested students and parents the opportunity to propose new logo designs. In short, we are looking for a logo that represents the renewed dynamism of the school while hopefully maintaining some of our old brand features: some representation of a leopard (whole body, head, paws, spots, etc.), the school’s full name or abbreviation, and the school’s colors (yellow and black). We also hope to incorporate our revised vision statement: “Every student thrives”.  Please send ideas to me by April 9. You don’t need to be an artist – you can just share your concept with me in a rough sketch and I can have it artistically rendered later on.  Many thanks to those who have already submitted designs. See the poster below for a bit more information.
3. School Store Has Moved Online! We understand that many people have trouble visiting the school store during its normal hours of operation. To help with this, we have now created a page on the website that lists all our products and prices. There is also an order form. You can fill out the order form, submit it, and then come to collect and pay for your items in the Front Office whenever you would like. Please visit our online store here.
