Last Day of Class for Grade 12
Today we had a wonderful assembly to let our Grade 6-11 students see the Grade 12’s as members of their assembly for the last time. Grade 12 finished classes today as they begin their leave to prepare for the IB Diploma or certificate examinations leading to graduation. These young people are American, Australian, Canadian, Chinese, Colombian, Dutch, English, French, German, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, Mexican, Scottish, Slovakian, South African, Swiss and Turkish. They are the most diverse group of students to graduate in the school’s history. We wish them well in their examinations and look forward to graduation on May 24 when they will become the Class of 2014.
Have an Admirable April,
Laurie McLellan lauriemclellan@staff.nanjing-school.com
Congratulations to Grade 12

Board Election Candidates
This year we will have an election for the Board. There are six candidates for three openings. The candidates are Andrew Ball, Brenda Bergeron, Wu Hao, Louise Liu, Mirella Savegnago and Suresh Shyamasundar. Each candidate has written a brief bio statement to introduce themselves.
As part of our Green School commitment we are piloting an online voting system. The election will take place from May 5th until May 16th. If we encounter any glitches with the online system we do have a paper ballot back up plan. All parents have one vote and can vote for up to three candidates.
Regards,
Monique Taylor, Chair of Governance Committee, salmaat@gmail.com
NIS BOARD CANDIDATESANDREW BALL
I work at Ford, Nanjing. I have spent 3 years in Nanjing, and will be here for another 4 years.
We have spent over 13 years as Ex-Pat's, in Germany and in Nanjing. My children have been educated entirely within the International School system. My son graduated last year from NIS and my daughter is in G9. I have seen IB schooling through all the grades and program phases.
Through the IB system my children have been given the skills and enquiring mind to thrive in the world of today. To now I have been a user/observer. I volunteer to help at School & Charity Events, but I'd like to be even more Value-Add.
In Nanjing, I am on the Ford Governance Committee. I Sponsor our 'Better World’ Charity activities. In my role of Chief Program Engineer I manage Business and Product Development. The role requires broad skills and responsibilities, including Business Plans - Revenue, Cost, Budgets, etc.. Product Planning and Development. Program Management. Product and process quality.
I would not class myself as an expert in any of these fields. I know where to look and what questions to ask. I let the experts get on with what they do best, while I give direction and eliminate roadblocks. The School Board should provide the Governance, Budget and Strategy to facilitate the same – facilitating educational excellence and enhancing the community. This is what I get paid to do at work. This is what I can offer the School and Community.
BRENDA L. BERGERON
I am Brenda L. Bergeron. For the past ten years I have made my home in China. From 2004-2006 I lived in Huangshi, Hubei where I worked as an English teacher in the Huaxin Cement Factory. In 2007 I moved to Nanjing and opened Nanjing Consulting Company. This provided me many opportunities to meet families and college students who wanted to either move to China or spend extended periods of time living in China. After living in China for many years I found myself developing many relationships with nationals. I discovered many social needs that I felt I could help address by opening Iced Bakery. It is my desire to provide excellent products and services and to make a lasting, positive impact on the community in which we operate. I am passionate about providing training and education in the field of food services to underserved women and at risk youth, providing them with tools and resources for a successful and fulfilling career.

LOUISE LIU
My son Derek Yu was enrolled last year in McGill University, Canada after spending 9 years at NIS. My younger son Derron Yu is now in Grade 9, this is his tenth year at NIS. Having lived in Nanjing for ten years and having watched two boys grow up in NIS, I recognize that NIS has become a special place of importance to my family and to me.
I am Chinese Canadian, currently working as a Director for Global Technical Support at Trend Micro, a software development company. Prior to this, I worked for eight years in a non-profit organization in Canada. My academic background includes a Bachelor Degree from China, two Master Degrees from Canada, one in Chemistry and one in Management Science. This combined with my over 25 years working experience in multiple companies has given me a unique perspective I will bring to NIS Board. Over the last few months, I have been lucky enough to be coopted to the board, sitting in on the Finance Committee and I realize that this is a great opportunity as a board member to better serve the school community focusing on its mission and strategy in order to ensure our children have the highest quality of education and best learning environment, whilst tackling fiscal challenges and representing diverse interests.
I would like to thank you all in advance for your vote and I will strive to serve the NIS community better.
WU HAO
Nationality: Chinese
Nanjing since: 2012
Employment: BASF-YPC Company Limited
Children at NIS: in Grade 6
It would be an honor and a humbling one to serve on the NIS Board. I am employed by BASF China and delegated to Nanjing, where our joint venture with Sinopec is located. I graduated from Shanghai Chemical Institute and have a MBA degree from Tongji University. I have 20 years experiences in chemical industry and have worked on management positions for BASF in Germany and Hongkong before coming to Nanjing. I am very much interested on joining the NIS board and commit myself to be an effective member. Specifically, I would complement NIS board with more, deeper local insight and oriental perspectives. I look forward to your support and thank you for any trust put on me.
Since moving to Nanjing, I have become part of the community here with both the Nationals and Expats. Through relationships with families in the community I became aware of NIS and developed a relationship with both families and faculty. Over the past two years I have worked with the PTA on many projects as well as provided services to the school through Iced Baking.
I feel that my experience and background in accounting, business, and the education of underserved women and at risk youth would greatly benefit the NIS School Board. Because I have a passion for China and a passion for youth, my desire is to see the families that live in Nanjing connect and develop a community that thrives rather than survives. I would love to see the Expat Community engage with the Chinese Community and, in doing so, assist in the education and development of their children.

MIRELLA SAVEGNAGO
I was in the Board of NIS for the past 2 years and the reason I am standing again for another term is continuity and competence. In fact one of the special challenges that international school boards face is high turnover which makes it difficult to maintain the focus. Another challenge is to recognize and value the cultural diversity present in the school. Honoring these differences, while upholding the school's vision and mission, requires sensitivity and knowledge of the processes and procedures. That needs time to be acquired. My next term should be the one where I can give most.
I am passionate about communication, about getting in touch with people from all countries, about excellent education and a fulfilled life for our kids.
I moved to China from my home town Milano in 2011 and I plan to stay in Nanjing longer. My older son is studying in Milano. My daughter Arianna is a student at NIS in grade 11th and an avid volleyball player. My husband of 28 years, Francesco, works in Nanjing for SAES, a fully owned Italian company.
I worked 17 years in multinationals in marketing and management and 11 years for a Charity fostering HIV positive children. My education includes a master degree in education and psychology, a master in marketing and a 3 years master in counseling.
Since 2012, I work in Nanjing for the European Chamber of Commerce. This experience provides me further and broader insights about the challenges of the expatriate community in Nanjing.

ACAMIS & CISSA Track & Field
The ACAMIS and CISSA Track & Field squad traveled to Suzhou Singapore International School on Fri 18 - Sat 19th April. We had a total of 29 students from Grade 5 through to Grade 12. The Grade 5 to Grade 7 took part in CISSA while the Grade 8 and up took part in ACAMIS
6 schools took part in ACAMIS and another 6 in CISSA. The competition was fierce but our athletes competed with determination to achieve some fantastic individual and team performances. At the end of the two day competition our athletes achieved a very creditable Runners-Up trophy. Every-one can feel proud of their progress and achievements this season and the Grade 5 - 8 students do it all again this weekend for their final event of the year.

南京⻘青奥会Give Me Fire!
This week our neighbour, 南师附中(Middle School Affili-ated with Nanjing Normal University) invited four NIS stu-dents to take apart in a torch relay ceremony and activity.

Pfrang Gala!!On Saturday May 17th 2014 from 7p.m. the Pfrang Association will be hosting the 14th Annual Pfrang Gala at Nanjing International School. This event is one of the highlights of the expatriate social calendar in Nanjing and attracts over 300 people for an evening of fun and fundraising. !!All the money raised on the night allows the Pfrang Association to provide scholarships to cover the 6 year High School education of needy students in rural Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Since its founding 14 years ago the Pfrang Association has provided more than 700 students the!opportunity to go to school. The Gala plays a vital role in allowing us to provide the lifelong gift of education to children who would other wise be denied the educational opportunities so many of us take for granted.!!It will be an amazing night for the community to come together to eat great food, dance to great live music and support a great cause. !!Thanks to our sponsors there are some incredible raffle prizes available including an iPhone donated by China Mobile and a return flight to Hong Kong donated by Dragon Air. If you or your company would like to donate further prizes or sponsor any aspect of the event please contact the Pfrang Association.!!Tickets are available in school from Sandra Fuchs in her office on the second floor of the Centre.!!Come along, bring all your friends and have a great night for a great cause.!!For more information contact: pfrang@sharehousechina.com!
