Pom Poms and Shakers!

Hope you all didn't forget to make your noise makers for the start of the AYG tomorrow! So bring out your shakers and pom pom tomorrow to cheer for the AYG runners!

ps: recess time will be staggard for all the levels...so means no more mass recess. (hearing loud cheering and clapping from the background :p)

And New Classmate!

Dear all,

There'd be a new classmate with you all for Sem 2. Her name is Emmeline. Be nice! I'm sure she'd appreciate if everyone helped her get familiar with the school and her classmates. (:
I'm sure you all will do a great job! ;)
