Teachers' Day Celebrations, 1st Sept 2011 (Thursday)

Post date: Jul 05, 2011 3:19:39 PM

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Every year, all across the world, Teachers’ Day celebrations are held to honour teachers for their invaluable contributions towards the education and development of students in our society.  Many have impacted the lives of students beyond educating them academically.  They have become mentors, motivators, confidants and even friends.  

At ACS (Barker Road), our teachers have been a guiding force for our boys. They have inspired, encouraged, nurtured and motivated them to move ahead and to achieve much in life while facing life’s challenges with confidence.   

This year, we will celebrate Teachers’ Day on 1 September 2011 (Thursday).  We are happy to inform you that we have arranged a special event to honour and show appreciation to our caring teachers for their dedication and effort in educating our boys.  The teachers will be treated to a catered buffet brunch at School.  After brunch, they will be transported to Sentosa Island to spend a fun-filled, magical day at Universal Studios where they will be taken on an adventure, to experience the thrills and shrills of exciting rides and much more.  This outing to Universal Studios is possible as we were able to negotiate a special price for the admission tickets.

In order for us to fulfil this gift of gratitude to our teachers, we seek your generous and strong support to make this year’s Teachers’ Day celebrations a memorable one for the teachers and staff.   While in the past we have appealed for gifts in kind, this year we are requesting for gifts in cash to go towards the purchase of the Universal Studios admission tickets.  As this appeal is voluntary, we ask that you be guided  by your heart to give accordingly.

Please complete the attached Reply Slip, together with your cash donation and return it to the Drop-In box at the School’s Admin Office (at Level 4 if you come in via the lift at the Transport Centre) or you can hand it to Ms Carol Ho at the Admin Office Reception.    For more information, please do not hesitate to contact our Organising Committee members, Ms Nina Koh at email kohnina@yahoo.com or Ms Wen-na Cheong at email thecheongs@hotmail.com.

Thank you very much in advance for your heartfelt contributions and God bless you!

Yours sincerely,

Sharon Ho
