D12 Halloween festivities 

On Halloween, D12 had our annual trip to the pumpkin farm! We were accompanied this year by the 5th grade for a morning full of fun! The students visited a rabbit petting zoo, fed alpacas and goats, played tug-of-war, rode on go-karts, jumped on trampolines, ran through a hay maze, picked pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, and even got to ride a zip line! Everyone had an amazing time! We can’t wait until next year!  

  

  

  

In the afternoon, D12 had our annual pumpkin painting & costume contests! 2 students from each class were selected as winners! Congratulations! We finished off our Halloween day with some trick-or-treating and Halloween games. It was certainly a Halloween to remember. 

 

IB Learners of the Month for October – Risk Takers! 

 

In Kindergarten, we want to recognize Ania as our bravest risk taker. Ania frequently steps out of her comfort zone at school to learn new things and to try new things. She approaches new challenges with enthusiasm and is not afraid of being wrong or admitting that she does not know something! Congratulations, Ania!  

  

In first grade, our risk taker of the month is Mariia. Mariia is very enthusiastic to try new things at school. She steps out of her comfort zone and is not afraid to make mistakes. She approaches challenges with a positive attitude. Well done, Mariia!  

  

In 2nd grade we wish to recognize Kira as a student who is not afraid to take risks. Kira often volunteers to answer questions, because she knows we learn even if we make mistakes. She even decided to write the spelling test after being sick and only getting her spelling list the day before! Well done, Kira!  

  

In 3rd grade our biggest risk taker this month was Thanvitha! Thanvitha is not afraid to step out of her comfort zone and try something new in hopes of gaining new knowledge or additional skills. She enjoys a good challenge and always tried her best to implement new skills we have learned in the class. She is not afraid of making mistakes or being wrong because she knows it will lead to more learning!  

  

In 4th grade, Kate is a great risk taker! She is not afraid to try something new. She approaches new tasks with enthusiasm and steps out of her comfort zone frequently. Kate is brave and is not afraid to make a mistake while learning. Congratulations, Kate!  

  

We would also like to recognize Miss Alesia Ramuk, our music teacher, for earning the Educator of the Month award for October! Miss Alesia’s colleagues have voted her as the staff “Risk Taker” because even though she just joined us this past month, she has proven herself to be a person who takes chances, shows courage and determination, and isn’t scared to try new things. Congratulations! 

 

Middle school lock-in 

By popular demand the lock-in is back. A lock-in is a student sleepover at school that is supervised by IAS staff. The school is usually locked from 7PM to 7AM. 

We have started the year with a middle school specific lock-in on October 31 and will explore arranging a high school lock-in in the spring if the demand exists.  

 

A big thank you to Przemek Zieliński, Kyle Greaves and Elyssa Winzeler for volunteering to supervise this time.
