Last Extravaganza This Saturday!
Make plans to attend the final Academic Extravaganza this Saturday, May 7th, 9am-Noon. Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders will stay on the CIS campus until 11am, when they will be bussed to join the rest of the school at Harrisburg Elementary School, 3900 Stallings Road.
Parents for grades 3, 4, 6 & 7 will participate in student-led portfolio conferences, learn about orienteering from their children, and hear a host of student IB presentations. The 5th grade will perform an original adaptation of a novel, and 1st and 4th graders will sing. Parents of K-2 students should drop them off before 9am and then join the whole school at Harrisburg Elementary at 11:30.
Teachers Visit from Baoding, China
Did you know that Chinese students have 2-3 hours in the middle of the day to return home for lunch and a nap? Or that 80% of its 1.3 billion citizens still live in rural settings?
CIS students learned this and much more from our first visitors from Baoding, China, the Sister City for our 1st grade. Huijuan Zhao and Rongli Zhang are teachers in Hebei Province, They will help us locate a sister school there to communicate with our students for years to come. We expect to have many delegations from Baoding in the future.
International Performing Arts Camp
Registration is still open for our exciting summer camp. Forms are available in the office!
1st Annual Golf, Family Day Successes
It was a festive weekend for CIS, with our 1st Annual Golf Tournament on Saturday at Rocky River Golf Club. The weather cleared in time for a full day of golf and a delicious meal from Carrabba’s Restaurant.
Special thanks to parents Leslie Kidder and Beth Thompson-Peace for organizing these two great events, the start of two new traditions at CIS.
