Dear Parents,
Congratulations to our ASIAC Soccer athletes!
Our
girls teams placed fourth and sixth and both teams received the sportsmanship
awards for displaying a high degree of sportsmanship in the tournament. Our boy’s
teams placed fifth and 2nd! Well done Raptors!
Congratulations grade 8 students on
your creativity, technology skills, and on your physics knowledge. The movies
on Newtonian Physics and Forces presented at this year’s Physics Video
Festival were the best
yet! Thank you Ms. Ashley Sebesan, Mr. Ryan
Sager and Ms. Laura Blair for showcasing the students work. Thank you to the
parents that came to the festival for your support.
Congratulations to the grade 7s on their wonderful Wonderland Film Festival! The movies were informational and entertaining. I learned so much about the floral, fauna, culture, and experiences that you had on your Week Without Walls trip to Nagarhole. Titles of some of the movies included: Predators of Nagarhole, Man versus Wild, The tribal people, Tibetan Buddhism, and Ecosystems of Nagarhole, to name just a few of the 18 movies.
Our lunchtime Holiday Revels were a great success and brought in a bit of the Christmas holiday cheer. Thanks to all of the singers for their courage and spirit in delighting the lunch goers in the cafeteria. Thank you to Mr. William, Ms. Diane and Mr. Cary for organizing this event for us.

What a great way for us to end the last day of school of the calendar year!
In the first two hours of the morning, our grade level teams organized events
designed with their students in mind. Each grade level included a farewell
component to those students that are transitioning on at the winter break time. The rest of the morning was spent in
our annual indoor fun-meet in the gym. We started off the fun-meet with a
surprise electric-slide ‘flash mob’ from the middle school teachers, inspired
by Ms. Diane, followed by 10 different activities including scatterball,
scooter relay, and tog-of-war. Thank you to Mr. Tommy and Mr. Ron T. for
organizing this fun event.
Physical Education (P.E.) Survey: Parent Input is requested. As a part of our continuous
improvement efforts and the CIS Accreditation Self-Study process, our P.E.
department has set a goal of evaluating the PE program at AISC. One method they are using to collect
data for this evaluation is a parent survey. Please complete this parent survey by
Monday, December 17th. Your
input is very much appreciated.
