Highlight - Last Week:
- We had Mr Baker visiting to share his expertise in fossil fuels. We took part in some experiments that demonstrated locating and extracting oils found in seabed. We thank Mr Baker for his time and effort in sharing his knowledge in the field. Ask your 5th grader what they learned on Friday.
- Our first inaugural International Festival was on Saturday. Despite the torrential rain at the beginning of the festival, there were lots of vendors and food, activities and performances that showcased #ISKLUnited. There was awesome fireworks as the night’s finale. Thank you PTA for amazing organization!
