From the Director

​What I am excited about this week…
 
The Library and Discovery Center is open! The remedial works on the library roof have been completed and the library has been re-opened. Thank you for your patience while that work was done.  If you haven’t seen the new space, please drop in to see it. I think you’ll be impressed. The coffee bar will be up and running soon, too!
 
Shine! Don’t miss tonight’s choral event, Shine! This celebration of song will feature student choirs, the community choir, and the St. Matthias Choir. The show will begin at 18:30 sharp TONIGHT in our Tiyende Pamodzi Theater.
 
Band Concert! On 12 December, all our band students will be performing during our All Bands Concert. Please plan to join us in the Tiyende Pamodzi Theater at 18:30 for this great musical event.
 
Open Board Meeting on 16 December! The Board of Directors will be holding an Open Board Meeting on 16 December at 18:00 in the Palm Pavilion. It is open to all AISL parents. Please come along to meet the board and learn about exciting developments at the school.  
 
Secondary School Principal Search! The principal search committee has been working very hard interviewing candidates.  We will be hosting school visits for our finalists next week. There will be opportunities for parents, students, and staff to meet them. Once the schedule has been finalized, I will share it in a separate email.
 
ISSEA Band and Choir Hosting! From 20-22 February, AISL will be hosting the ISSEA Band and Choir Festival. This is a great honor for us and a wonderful opportunity to show off our impressive music program. This is the largest ISSEA event in terms of participants and will stretch our hosting abilities to their limits. To support this great event, please consider hosting two or more visiting students at your home. We will need all the help we can get. You may have already seen a separate email request from the Activities Department.  Please contact them to volunteer or to ask questions. Thank you for considering hosting some of our ISSEA guests.
