We have many families leaving the BIS community at the end of the school year. We are sad to see them go, and wish you all the best for the next chapter of their lives! With moving comes the inevitable ‘cleaning out’ of our Bali homes, so the PTA thought it would be fun to have a Garage Sale! Tables are free, and you can keep all the profits of your own sales. If you have any donations, the charities reps would love to have the opportunity to distribute anything left over to our chosen charities.
