Dear

Athletics
Meet
At the Athletics Meet on Saturday 10th March BMIS did extremely
well by as runners up. Aga khan came first but this was not our
athletics term and we had not been training. Congratulations to
all our young competitors who did so well and also for the great
turn out of pupils, parents and teachers.
Kenton
Hockey Festival
This weekend our under 11 and 13 boys are going to Nairobi to play
in the prestigious Kenton Festival. We are the only school invited
from the coast and, although we are certainly not expecting to win
against the strong Nairobi traditions of hockey, we intend to render
a very good account of ourselves. The boys who are flying will leave
this afternoon on the 1440hrs flight and return tomorrow evening
at 1840hrs. Parents should collect their boys from the airport.
Those travelling by bus left at 0800hrs this morning and will return
on Sunday at 0600hrs when they should be collected from the school.
We wish our teams every success.
Primary
School Production
This is taking place on Friday (23rd March) at 6.00 pm. The boarders
will go to the boarding house after school and return at 5.30 pm
to prepare for the production. Parents will be able to see the performance
and take their children home afterwards. All KS2 children (Y3-6)
should be at school by 5.30 pm to get ready. The PTA will run the
bar with light refreshments. Please make sure your child is fed
before the production.
Sponsored
Read/Drums for Peace
We will be holding our Sponsored Read on Wednesday 21st March, the
proceeds of which will go to ACTS (Assist a child to School). Attached
to this newsletter is the sponsorship form. ACTS is a very good
cause and there will be prizes for the three children who raise
the most money. We will also be holding a fancy dress parade on
that day for children who wish to come dressed as their favourite
book character. At 11.15 am, we will be taking drums onto the field
to beat them for peace. Every child will take a turn to beat them
and this should be happening in all the Mombasa schools.
Year
5 Trip
Year 5 will be visiting Gedi Ruins and the Vasco da Gama Cross in
Malindi on Monday as part of their history studies on explorers.
We are very fortunate that so many historical sites are within easy
reach and hope to take maximum advantage of them.
