Reminder: Reception with Paul Pigue

Carolina International School would not exist without Paul Pigue. Mr. Pigue learned of our vision for CIS and wanted to help make it a reality. He purchased these 36 acres, paid for most of the site preparations, and bought our new modular learning cottages. Mr. Pigue did this without intending to make any profit. We pay him a monthly leasing fee until we can arrange ownership of the site ourselves.

This Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Pigue and friends will visit CIS. That afternoon, from 4:00-5:30 you are invited to meet and greet Paul and Anne at the Rocky River Coffee Company, 4350 Main Street, in the Harrisburg town center. This informal reception is the opportunity for our parents to thank Paul for his generous support.

Academic Extravaganza 5!

 

Our 5th Grade conducted carefully structured debates on several topics. Here two teams compete for an audience of parents to determine who presented the most convincing arguments.

The 5th Grade class made unique contributions to our Extravaganzas this year with play productions based on their original adaptations of novels they read. This is the conclusion of their version of “Surviving the Applewhites” starring Riley Ghamsari, who is transformed from a troubled youth to a positive, content young man by his acceptance by the eccentric, open-minded Applewhite family.
