    Lockdown Drill
    This year SOIS is introducing new types of emergency
    drills to cover various situations. When students are
    prepared for a crisis, they instinctively act and panic
    less. A lockdown takes place when there is an intruder
    on campus. An announcement will be made and
    everyone is expected to go in the nearest room and
    lock or barricade the door, close all windows and blinds.
    The drills are vital for schools to practice, but we also
    do not want to worry or scare the students. The
    lockdown drill will be taking place this Thursday
    December 7.

    High School Winter Concert


    Everyone is invited to attend the concert taking place at
    the elegant Maple Hall located on the main street of
    Minoh. These kinds of events build our community so it
    is nice to see teachers, parents and students come to
    share the Christmas cheer. Even if your child is not
    performing, you are welcome to come and support the
    music program.

    Refugee Film Festival


    Kwansei Gakuin University with cooperation of the
    United Nations High Commission of Refugees, is
    sponsoring a film festival. We are fortunate to have
    one of the movies playing at OIS on Friday
    December 8 at 15:45 in the third floor conference
    room. The movie will be Born in Syria, Director
    Hernan Zins documentary traces the journeys of 7
    child refugees being moved across Europe in
    search of a new life. He is quite the
    cinematographer and there are beautiful scenes
    combined with the heartbreak for ruined
    childhoods. It is free admission and parents,
    students and teachers are invited to attend.
