Dear Parents,
Thank you for joining us for today’s Parade of Nations as part of our United Nations Day celebration today. A wonderful presentation by our Grade 5 speakers; Norah, Harris, Eunchae, Hana and Nassim. They shared the story ‘Peace Crane’ by Sheila Hamanaka, a story about Sadako and the peace cranes, ‘affirming the true spirit of all who believe that peace is possible in our troubled time.’

Meet AISC - Ross Connelly - Grade 4 Teacher
Ross loves engaging students in big conversations and asking them deep questions. He can speak French and wishes he knew more languages. When Ross is not teaching , he likes to jog and has recently started making homemade ice cream. Before teaching he served in West Africa with the Peace Corps, where he slept many nights in a mud hut. Ross has taught students from grade 1 through grade 12 and Elementary is his favorite!. He has been really proud to work among a lot of inspiring teachers at AISC and other schools and has learned a lot from them. Their examples have pushed him to be a better educator. Sometimes people tell him he looks like James Hetfield from Metallica after he cut his hair off. Ross says “It would be pretty fun to be him for a day when he's playing a sold-out stadium show!”
Vision and Hearing Screening (27th - 29th September)
