Come and join us at the BIS Houston Summer Fayre on June 2 from 3:30 – 5:30 pm!
This year, we are avoiding soggy paper tickets and moving to a keepsake silicon wristband for entrance. The first wristband costs $20 and wristbands for each additional child in the family are $15. Children 3 years old and younger can attend for free. You can buy the wristbands here on the website or in person at school.
You can buy wristbands at school on May 24 / 25 / 31 and June 1 from 8:00 – 9:00 am and 3:00 – 4:00 pm. Wristbands will also be on sale on June 2 from 8:00 – 9:00 am and anytime after 2:30 pm.
The wristbands give your child unlimited access to all inflatables, water slides, games, face tattoos, and face painting.
Food, ice cream, and secondhand books can be purchased with cash or credit cards.
The Summer Fayre will include lots of activities, games, face tattoos, food, and music!

The Quiz & Curry Night will take place on April 22, 2023. The timing is still being worked out, but it should start around 7:00 pm and end around 11:00 pm. This is an adult night out rather than a family night out.
The tickets will include entrance, a delicious curry dinner and non-alcoholic drinks, and a quiz led by Principal Scrymgeour. You are welcome to bring your own alcohol, although there will be a small corkage charge (as part of our fundraising efforts.)
We are seeking corporate sponsorships for the night. Do you know a company that would be willing to sponsor a table or donate goods for the decoration or for a raffle basket? If so, please let us know!
Stay tuned for more information! We look forward to a great night!

It is already time to select our Board for the next school year! Our term of office runs from July 1 through June 31, but we would like to ensure that the new Board has a voice in setting next year’s budget.
According to our bylaws, we have a Nominating Committee that reviews the submitted statements of interest of potential candidates (ie this Google form) and seeks to recruit for positions where we have gaps.
We need people to sit on the Nominating Committee especially as many of the current PTO members may seek election for a position, and Nominating Committee members cannot be running for election. They may, however, later be appointed to one of the Standing Committee positions.
We have six elected positions while the remainder are appointed by the elected board. Would you like to join the 2023 – 2024 Board? Please note your interest in one of the elected or non-elected positions for 2023 – 2024 by March 31, 2023. The election will take place in April 2023.
