It was wonderful to see a full house and feel the warmth of support from the ABIS community. I was incredibly proud of the students\u2019 performances, knowing how hard they worked to prepare for the show. Performing in front of such a large audience requires great courage, and our students exemplified the IB learner profile traits of being both courageous and risk-takers. A special thanks to Mr. Mino (and Mr. Camilo) for their dedication to working with the students and for their creative vision and production expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Art Gallery Showcase<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope many of you had the opportunity to visit the Art Galleries in the LC3 lobby area. These galleries highlight the exceptional creative talents of our students across the school. A big thank you to Ms. Sanna, her assistant Ms. Hajer, and our secondary art specialist Mr. Marek for organizing these displays and guiding our students in developing their artistic skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Events Ahead<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With two weeks left before the winter break, our calendar is packed with exciting events. Next week, students will participate in morning run activities led by Ms. Dorothy, Mr. Fernando, and Ms. Nuria. These activities are in preparation for our first-ever ABIS Community Fun Run, taking place on Saturday, December 14th. I hope many of you can join us for this fun event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another highlight of the season is our Primary Sports Day, scheduled for Tuesday, December 17th. It\u2019s always a favorite event of the year, and I encourage you to come and support your child if you\u2019re able.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Best regards,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Matthew<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Primary Team Lead<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reminders:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">December 8th, 10th, 12th: MOE Arabic Exams (G5-6)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">December 14th: ABIS Community Fun Run<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tuesday 17th December: Primary Sports Day (KG1-G5)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wednesday 18th December: Secondary Sports Day (G6 will join Grades 7-12)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thursday 19th December: School closes for winter break (1:00 pm)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sunday 12th January: School reopens after the winter break<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Primary Families, Charlie the Service Dog Our week ended today with a visit from Jasmin and Charlie, the Service Dog.
