Confidence
On Wednesday, 8 March, I met with a group of student leaders from Elementary and Middle School to gather feedback on our Future Framework’s key mindset, Confidence. Our students provided some excellent ideas and suggestions and offered insightful feedback about the many ways we grow confidence at AIS. I look forward to speaking with more students during the afternoon of 15 March as well as with parents at our upcoming PTA meeting on Wednesday, 15 March at 3:15. Please consider joining us to share your experience!
PTA Volunteer Luncheon
Our fabulous PTA hosted an outstanding luncheon on Wednesday, 8 March at Festival Walk that was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. The annual PTA luncheon has not been held since 2019, and it was clear from the energy and enthusiasm that our parent volunteer community is delighted to be able to come together again and celebrate the wonderful work they do.
Special thanks go out to our PTA Executive Committee: Bonnie Chun, President; Grace Chen & Lisa Li, Co-Presidents; Sophie Koh, Treasurer; and, Gloria Chau, Sourcing Executive. Together, they have worked hard all year to make special opportunities for our students, parents, and faculty come to life. The event was well attended and we thank everyone who made time in their busy schedules to come out.
