What an incredible turnout from the AISL community today as we celebrated our annual WorldFest! The morning opened with our traditional Parade of Nations, representing close to 60 nationalities, with students, parents and grandparents taking part in the ceremony. Students engaged in a variety of cultural activities mid-morning, before moving to the Food Festival, which was an incredible offering of food from around the globe. From the planning committee, to the PTA, to Martina and her staff, this event was made possible due to the collective team effort. Thank you everyone for joining us today. We were so glad to have you here.
On Friday, 19 April, AISL will be celebrating its annual WorldFest. We are looking forward to this special annual event. The schedule for the day will begin with a Parade of Nations and we welcome our families to take part in this. Please dress up in your traditional national dress and/or colors. After the parade, we will have a whole school assembly in the Tiyende Pamodzi Theater. Parents are welcome though we ask that you join us at the back as the seats will be filled with our students from ELC to Grade 12. Following the assembly, our students will engage in a couple of cultural activities throughout the day before heading to the Food Festival mid-morning. The PTA Liaisons have been busy preparing for this. We ask that, if you drop off a dish for the event, to please make sure it is clearly marked with your name on the bottom of the dish so that it can be returned to you. We are still looking for a food coordinator for the USA, so if you would like to help out with this, please contact our PTA President, Fungai Sandamu-Güldemann (fungi.sandamu@gmail.com) for more information. Our WorldFest will conclude at 12:45 dismissal on this day for KG-G12. ELC will dismiss at the usual time of 12:00 (for those in the regular program) and 12:45 (for those in the Extended Day program). The buses and CCAs will proceed as usual on Friday afternoon. Dismissal for Primary students will take place at the Covered Court so please collect your child there at that time, even if you are attending the food festival. This helps us make sure we have an adult handover for every child. Thank you. Please use this is a form to let us know who would be interested in participating in a fundraising triathlon on the 5th of May 2024 (Student initiated). The Triathlon will be a fundraiser for the Zambian Orphans Association (ZOA) and it will include Parents, Students and Teachers so please feel free to sign up and enjoy the day with the rest of the AISL community. A huge congratulations to all of our young actors this past weekend as they put on two stellar performances of Winnie the Pooh. Despite the challenges that the cholera closure presented, the students sought out alternative ways to keep practicing their lines, get fitted for costumes, and learn their stage cues despite a month less of stage time. It was so lovely to see the famous childhood stories come alive through their creative interpretation of the characters, the stage set that provoked imagination and the vintage costumes that reminded us of these stories written long ago. Thank you for Ms. Carolyn, Ms. Jill and Ms. Natalie for orchestrating the whole process. Below are a few highlights from the performance.
Our students in the Primary Play CCA are excited to announce that they will be performing Winnie The Pooh by Kathryn Schultz Miller. This play is an adaptation of A.A Milne's first book of Pooh stories. It will welcome you to Christopher Robin's 100 Acre Woods; home of Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo and of course the world's most loveable bear, Pooh. Our Grade 4 and 5 students have been working with Ms. Carolyn, Ms. Natalie, Ms. Jill, Mr. Zamba and Ms. Bullard over the last two quarters to help bring this well-loved story to the stage. You may have noticed the posters all over the school as well as students wearing T-shirts to help promote this Primary School production. The wonderful logo design was created by one of the Grade 4 actors in the play, Rex Williams. We know our younger audience members in particular will really love this play. We look forward to seeing you at either of the performances on Friday, 1 March (14:30) and/or Saturday, 2 March (14:30). There is no cost to attend. Please come and support us!

Just before our mid-term break, our community came together for our annual Celebrate Zambia day. Beginning with an opening parade, the day unfolded to include a wide range of cultural activities, facilitated by our faculty and staff, and finished off with a stunning performance by the Nomakanjani Arts group. Thank you to everyone who helped make the day memorable for our students and community. Below are a few highlights from the event.
