To the Elementary School Community,

Yesterday was special as we celebrated our teachers on Teacher Appreciation Day in Albania. We are fortunate to have such a professional, student-centered, and educated teaching staff who work tirelessly to provide incredible learning experiences to our TIS students. We appreciate all that you do, teachers!

Today is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate women and their accomplishments.

"Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them." - Unknown.

We have a busy week ahead with TIS Talent Show auditions, the "Fun on the Run" t-shirt design deadline, and the Elementary Game Night for elementary boys and their chosen female adult.

Several of our TIS staff members will attend the CEESA Conference in Malta next week. We will participate in several important topics, such as exploring AI, executive functioning, creating inclusive school cultures, and incorporating EdTech for inclusive learning.

Student-led conferences are coming up soon. We are excited to see our students teach their parents about everything they have learned in our elementary school program!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your loved ones, and I look forward to seeing all of our exceptional children on Monday.

 

All the best,

Yaisa Banek
