“This experience was the highlight of our visit so far!”
Led by Mayor-Elect Tom Doherty, a delegation of leaders from Killarney, Ireland (Sister City for our 7th graders), visited CIS on April 4th. They were excited by the school and pledged to help connect our students with peers in three Killarney schools: one all-girls, one all-boys, and one coed.

Scholastic SUCCESS!
CIS parent Charlotte Halperin, chair of the Scholastic Book Fair Committee, reports that the final sales tally was over $5,700! She comments:
“The teamwork that was exhibited by each individual was extraordinary. Every person, no matter how involved they were, helped make this a success and I want to say thank you once again for your commitment, passion, and follow through. I heard this saying yesterday and I thought it was totally appropriate for what we just experienced with the Book Fair:
“TEAMWORK MAKES DREAMS COME TRUE!”
