From the Director

ISSEA Rugby! The ISSEA Rugby 2017 Tournament is finally upon us. Students from the American International School of Johannesburg, the International School of Kenya, and the International Community School of Addis Ababa arrived on Wednesday. Rugby games will occur throughout the day on Friday, and Saturday (February 3‐4). Saturday will include some teams from other Zambian schools as well. Please come and cheer on the Leopards.

ISSEA Swimming and Basketball! This week our ISSEA Swimming and Basketball teams are competing at the International School of Kenya in Nairobi and the International School of Tanganyika in Dar es Salaam, respectively. These tournaments, along with the Rugby tournament at AISL, represent many weeks of intense training for young people who are also committed to academics, service, leadership, and all other aspects of a well-rounded AISL education. I am always humbled by the dedication and energy of our scholar-athletes. Go Leopards!  

PTA! Congratulations to the new PTA Coordinating Committee. Nikki Zeravica has taken on the role of Primary School Coordinator, Mary Krafft will be our Secondary School Coordinator, Deborah Chibonga will be the Treasurer, and Jane Okafor will be the new Secretary. I am thrilled to see that the PTA will continue on with strong leadership for the next year. Please watch the Leopard Tale for ways to get involved. Also, please join me in thanking the outgoing PTA Coordinator, Bridget Rathbone, and her team for their tireless dedication to the school. Their vision and commitment energized a flagging PTA and turned it into a vibrant and active organization. Although stepping down from their leadership positions, I am thrilled to know that they will still be involved and that we can continue to count on their energy and enthusiasm.  

The 100th Day of School Celebration! On Tuesday, February 7 the Primary School will be celebrating our 100th day of school this year. This provides a great opportunity to celebrate and to explore the number 100 through the lenses of numerous subject areas. See the Primary School for more information.
