international friendship group – SWEC – YEPA Ms Christine Kemp CKemp@isstavanger.no Thank you to everyone who has taken part in our RagS to RiC hES Ca m pa i g n. Many bags will be delivered to FRETEX in the near future. SWEC’s ‘Boxes for Bumblebees’ raffle is not going as well as they’d hoped so thay want to extend the sale of raffle tickets into March. Have you seen all the colourfully wrapped prizes they have donated? There are four bags of them displayed on their notice board outside the cafeteria. Please support their efforts to raise money for Bumblebee Conservation. What would early summer be like without these delightful insects buzzing slowly around looking for sustenance after their winter hibernation? Check out www. bumblebeeconservationtrust.co.uk for more information. YEPA’s Ceilidh was well attended by a very enthusiastic and energetic group of students and parents. Thank you all for coming! The Jurassic Ceilidh Band were lively and got everyone’s toes tapping and hands clapping. We would like to thank the band very much for their contribution to the evening’s success and also for giving their services free of charge. Kr.2811 was raised for Min Dag i Dag and Livsglede for Eldre. We are happy to acknowledge some recent donations. Ben Neil gave kr 46:5 which he’d earned during the Christmas holiday period - this to be added to our funds for Action Aid. Thank you, Ben. Also for Action Aid, kr 902 was donated by teachers, students and parents in PS 3 from the proceeds of a Class Cafe! Well done Pre-school 3! Thirdly, Mrs, Svihus, on behalf of the Art Department, gave kr 1060 for the ‘Touching Lives’ Appeal. This was from the sale of HS students’ art work. Thank you all! Looking ahead to March there are two events coming up - Red Nose Day and a Coffee House to celebrate World Water Day. More information about these from IFG students below. nB! We are looking for performers for the Coffee House from faculty and parents too. Share your talents! We’d love to hear from you so get in touch soon! Lastly, the date for the Nearly New Sale in April has been brought forward one week. It will now be on saturday, 18th April at 10:00 with set-up on Friday, 17th, 15:30 - 17:00. You may sign up for tables at any time - kr 300 per table per family (- two tables kr 500). RED NOSE DAY - 11 March On the 11th of March IFG, YEPA and SWEC are planning to hold RED NOSE DAY at ISS. red noses will be on sale from Monday 9th. But what is Red Nose Day we hear you cry? Well, in schools, offices and homes across the UK, everyone wears - you’ve guessed it - the latest Red Nose and does whatever tickles their fancy to raise cash. You name it, they do it! From sponsored kissathons and flamboyant fancy dress to gungetastic trials and naked pole vaulting. Ok, we made the last one up. At ISS the occasion will be marked by a Red Nose Day bakesale, and we encourage students to help this worthy cause by buying cakes, wearing Red Noses or making donations. All the money we raise will help to transform lives. That’s because Comic Relief spends it to support long-term projects which help people to help themselves across the UK and Africa. The money spent in the UK goes towards helping victims of domestic violence, young people who abuse substances or are homeless, refugees and many other vulnerable people. In Africa the money is used to help combat HIV and AIDS, fight the discrimination towards women and girls and help people affected by conflict and those living in urban slums. For more information go to www.rednoseday.com, where you can read more about where your money goes and what other events are taking place to raise money.
