International Day Schedule
Dear BIS Community,
As you all know, we are hosting an international day event to celebrate our 30th anniversary. This event will occur on Friday, September 2nd in acknowledgement of our birthday on the 3rd.
Everyone at school is involved in this event, so from lunch time of Friday, all the offices will be closed.
We encourage all students, parents and staff to come to school in clothes that are specific to their culture.
This is the schedule for the event:
We will have a normal school day until lunch.
- 1:00 – The International Parade will begin the march to the covered court accompanied by our walking band. Parents are welcome to join the parade or to wait on the field under the center tents to watch the parade.
- 1:20 – The Anniversary Presentation will begin in the covered court.
- 1:40 – All students will be dismissed from the covered court so that they can visit the International Stalls on the field that have been prepared by parents. There will be both snacks of country dishes and traditional games in the international stalls. In additional, students will be given BIS passports. They will be encouraged to engage with each country stall i.e. converse, play games etc, and in return will have their passports signed.
- 2:40 – All students will return to homerooms so that we can dismiss as usual at 2:45.
I am really looking forward to this event. The planning for it has been very smooth, which in large part is due to the help of the PTFA and the enthusiasm of all our parents. Thank you for engaging so enthusiastically and helping us highlight our active, creative and respectful learning environment!
Best regards,
Denise Walsh
Head of School
