Dear
Parents,
It has
been an exciting week in the elementary as we have been cheering on our Raptors
and visiting teams for SAISA track. Congratulations to our fourth and fifth
participants, Summer and Minato, who have contributed to the Raptors’ success.
Good job
also to all of the ES students who have participated in Running Club and the
first part of the track and field season. Finally, a great big thank you to the
families who have hosted an athlete. If you have not had a chance yet, hosting
a SAISA student is a great deal of fun and a wonderful opportunity for
connection between your child and some new friends.
Earth Week is Coming!
We would like our community to join us in the Earth
Day Spirit Week by participating in the daily experiences. Show us your Earth
Day spirit using #AISCearthday. Please read more about each day on the Head of
School Blog.
