In Memory of Sarah Crites Last Thursday evening, we learned of the passing of Sarah Crites, a former AISL Parent. Sarah served on our school board for four years, the last two of which she was the Board Chair (2020-2022). Sarah worked for USAID and was passionate about education for all. She was a brilliant woman and this is a tragic loss of life. She leaves a husband and teenage twins, who are known to many in our community. May she rest in peace. Sarah in Sept 2022 with Sipho Phiri and John Armiger, Charge d’Affaires, US Embassy. The ISSEA STEAM competition here was simply incredible. Thanks to all involved, who like all the other ISSEA ADs, Coaches, and Chaperones, put in long hours over the weekend. The ISSEA STEAM logo was developed by one of our grade 7 students, Osanna, in the design class. How creative and it gave a main signature and identity for this fantastic event. ISSEA Results STEAM : Overall 4th Football: Girls 6th, Boys 5th Golf: Girls Division one champion in both the Gross and Nett categories - Uma. Boys Division 2 Gross category: Cobey came second and Johannes came third in the Nett category. Tennis: Girls came in 1st place, with Noor winning the girls individual gold medal. The Boys Team came 2nd place, with Filip winning the boys individual silver medal. Congratulations all round and a wonderful life memory for all involved. And how’s this for a picture? One of our 6th graders, Kush, played a 12th grader from AISJ in a qualifying round. What an incredible spirit of competition !!! SOAR Results and Strategy Update
Although only four parents attended each session on Tuesday, there was some very rich discussion on this extremely timely and important discussion. Here are the Slides, but it is the conversation around these where the deeper questions and understanding arise. If anyone has any ideas how we may communicate more impactfully, we are all ears. Our world is changing rapidly and we all need to be aware of the changes and adapt with them. PYPX Our PYPXers performed beautifully at their celebration assembly in the PAC last night and later shared their process and final product with their parents. They had delved into significant world issues centered around the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Exhibition is the culminating event of the IB Primary Years Program and our learners demonstrated true transdisciplinary learning in their projects and performances. Congratulations to all of them! Earth Day is Coming Earth Day this year is on Monday 22 April. Our Primary WildLife Club Earth Day 2024 are taking action and our learners will be involved in various activities to raise awareness of the importance of all of us playing our part in not only the protection, but the thriving of our planet and the humans who live on it. Valuable dinner conversation. Election general Meeting (EGM) 22 May - Save the Date From the AISL Board Chair on behalf of the Board. Dear AISL Parent Community: Are you a current (or incoming) AISL parent? Will you have a child enrolled at AISL through June 2025? If so, please consider joining the AISL Board of Directors, who will be holding elections. This year there are two (2) positions in the upcoming Election General Meeting (EGM) on May 22. The Board is seeking candidates for the following positions:
Please send a bio, a brief expression of interest, and a headshot photo to board@aislusaka.org by Monday, May 6th. Candidates' bios will appear in the Leopard's Tale on May 9th and 16th. The Board will run elections at the May 22 EGM at 18:00 on the AISL campus. All are welcome to attend. Background: A seven-member Board of Directors governs AISL. The U.S. Ambassador to Zambia appoints two of the Board members, one of whom serves as the Chair of the Board. The five remaining members are elected by the AISL community - or AISL Association - which is composed of parents and legal guardians of students who are enrolled at AISL. Of the elected members, two must be affiliated with the U.S. Government, and three from the AISL parent community (referred to as the AISL Association). Elected Board members serve for two years and are eligible for re-election. The Board annually selects Board officers and committee chairs. The overall role of the AISL Board of Directors is to oversee the strategic direction of the school and support and supervise the Director as she implements the strategic plan and leads the school. The Board provides fiduciary oversight by approving an annual budget and setting school fees. The Board also establishes broad school policy in accordance with the school vision, mission, and core values. The Board accomplishes much of its work through Board committees, which may also include individuals from the broader AISL Association. The AISL Board of Directors holds a minimum of two open meetings and five executive (closed) meetings throughout the school year. The Board holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the first half of the year, and an Election General Meeting (EGM) in the second half of the year. We look forward to seeing you there. WorldFest is Here! Tomorrow is the much anticipated WorldFest Day. Wishing everyone a very special and memorable day. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of organizing this day. What a celebration of culture and diversity. Enjoy every moment! Comments are closed.
