Showing Gratitude

​As the school year winds down, please take a moment to thank someone on our staff. The AISL team works very hard all year to provide great opportunities for our students. Teachers work long hours and the grading, coaching, or chaperoning duties on evenings and weekends are the norm rather than the exceptions. Overnight trips bring with them the burden of extremely high levels of responsibility and accountability, 24/7. Teachers love teaching but it is a much more difficult job than most people realize. Furthermore, the administrative staff works hard to remove obstacles and pave the way so teachers can do what they do best. Like any school, AISL is a complex organization. It requires a large team of dedicated individuals to keep it running smoothly. Please take a moment sometime in the next two weeks to thank at least one member of our hard-working staff in person or in writing.
 
And while I am at it, let me thank you, the AISL parent community. I have been truly grateful for the trust and support you have shown me in my first year as Director. Educating children is a team sport and I am thrilled that we are working together to nurture and support the students at AISL to help each one achieve his or her highest potential. Thank you!
