Classes in Gabby’s school resume on June 17, about a month from now. I am glad that the school directors decided to course all types of communications i.e. memo, announcements, assignments, and forms, online. All matters regarding the school and the students will be done online, forms can now be downloaded from and uploaded to the school’s website. This is such a smart move as this will save paper usage therefore saving the environment. It is also more convenient and accessible to those parents who are working full time in the office. However, parent involvement and personal communications between them and the teachers  are still encouraged.

The list of school supplies needed for this year was emailed to us, parents. I got excited and wanted to rush to a bookstore and purchase them already. LOL. I remember I really enjoyed buying school supplies when I was in elementary. I just loved the smell of those new notebooks, fruity-scented erasers and pens, stylish pencil boxes. My eyes rolled through those pretty pink trolley bags! Anyway, I just thought of sharing the list with you. We might be buying the same supplies for our kids, right? So better share the excitement with you.
