Rainbow Day and Discover Oman

What fun we had at Rainbow Day today! Wow, it was another amazing event that started with high spirit and ended with great pride in teamwork! Congratulations to all the elementary school kids, teachers, and parents who made this event so successful. Kids enjoyed all the game stations with their color team members and teacher leaders. Many kids loved the water sponge game, where they had to work together in small groups and carry wet sponges back and forth to fill up the water pails. It's always fun to get soaked a little!

Next week we will continue another busy week with Discover Oman. Please refer back to your Discover Oman letter/information packet that was sent home earlier last week for details. Most of the days we will be traveling outdoor (except for Monday, we will be at the Natural History Museum), therefore please help your child to pack a water bottle, hat, sunscreen, and a snack for the trips. The schedule is as follows:

Sat, Feb 18 - Ghala Village and Hot Spring Hike 8:45-11:30
Sun, Feb 19 - Shatti Beach 11:30-2:30
Mon, Feb 20 - Natural History Museum 8:45-11:30
Tues, Feb 21 - Bausher Fort 8:45-11:30
Wed, Feb 22 - Omani Village Day at TAISM (morning)

For the parent volunteers who are chaperoning, please note that the school buses have just enough space for students, teachers and teaching assistants. Therefore it is suggested that parent volunteers who are coming on the same trip to carpool. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

We look forward to Discovering Oman! = )
