Battle of the Bands
International School Manila’s annual student-run Battle of the Bands (BOB) competition is in its eighth year. This year’s event has more participants than ever before; 15 Bands and 14 singers, and promises to be the most entertaining BOB yet! The Battle of the Bands committee is also working with the Philippine Community Fund (PCF) to raise funds for the construction of 10 permanent family homes for the people living in the Tondo on the “Smokey Mountain” dumpsite. Proceeds from ticket sales and our raffle will go towards achieving this goal. Tickets for the April 17 and 18 are P250 each. These two nights are the preliminary judging nights and will take place on ISM’s Middle School Field. Tickets for the night of April 24 are 350 pesos. This night is the Final night of competition and will take place on ISM’s Elementary Field. Note: Tickets this year are “Ballerbands” (rubber bracelets), and there are 3 different colors: yellow for day one, pink for day two, and blue for day three. “Baller-Band” tickets are on sale at lunch at ISM. While “Baller-Bands” are limited in number and only on sale during school hours, those who would like to attend the event can also purchase entry into the event upon arrival each night. The Battle of the Bands committee hopes you can attend!

From the ECO Council:
Have you ever wondered how our food is made? Where it came from? 'Food Inc,' directed by Robert Kenner, explores where the food we purchase at the grocery store really comes from, and what it means for the health of future generations. Thanks to industrial food processing, the way we eat has changed more in the past 50 years than it has in the previous 10,000 - and it is having dire environmental and health impacts.

Thursday, April 22nd will mark the 40th annual Earth Day. Your Environment Council would like to celebrate this Day by hosting ISM's first meat-free menu, where no meat or fish products will be sold in the canteen or concessionaries.
Not only is this in accord with the United Nations declaration that "Meat is one of the top two or three contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global", it also resonates with current health and wellness thinking that many people consume far too much meat in their diet. For just one day, we are asking you to vote with your stomachs for a sustainable lifestyle. Earth Day is our chance to Eat Well for
