Many students would argue that there could be no reason in existence to celebrate anything to do with math, but at AISB, Pi Day is one of the cornerstone holidays we treasure! Similar to middle school student creativity and enthusiasm, the number pi is unending. It is one of the great mysterious quantities that explains so much of our universe, from the orbit of the electron to the rotation of our galaxy. Pi is limitless, as is the potential of our students.
On Wednesday, March 16th, in the theater, students by grade level were given the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and problem-solving capabilities for the goal of "pieing" a math teacher. The competition was spirited and occasionally fierce, but in the end, Mr. Robinson was crowned the "Pi Day King" and ceremoniously initiated into that role.
Afterwards, our gracious PSA moms provided pies of different varieties for the students during lunch time. As students consumed the pies, on their faces was a renewed respect and love for math; a subject that has done so much to enrich our lives, both in and outside of the classroom.

Student Farewell:
Farewell to Ria Sumita, Grade 8.
Ria came to AISB in Grade 6. She leaves AISB, her friends and teachers and fellow CEESA Band players to return to Japan. Her school calendar starts in April and ends in March. This means that Ria will start Grade 9 in April. Wish we could give you a summer break, Ria!
Ria will be deeply missed by so many of us! We wish her the very best in her new school! Keep in touch Ria!!!

PSA Update:
Thank you to those parents across divisions for joining a discussion on Service Learning at AISB, presented by Mr. Ben O'Brien (HS Counselor / HS CAS Coordinator, Mr. Marc Lavoie MS Student Life Coordinator and Ms. Delinka Fabiny (MS/HS French). The director and the psychologist from Bolyai children's home (the home where our Giving Tree gifts go to), also joined the meeting and explained about the home, the children and their background and how important it is for the children to get support.
For those that were unable to attend this event, feel free to access the information at the following link: Service Learning Presentation.
The next PSA meeting will be on Friday, April 22nd at 7:00 p.m. during the MS Social - we hope to see you there!
Spanish 8 Legends and Fairy Tales Unit:
The 8 Advanced Spanish students have been studying legends and fairy tales in Spanish in order to learn to use the past tenses. As a culminating project, they wrote a legend from their home culture in Spanish and used this to create a children's book. Today 8th graders went to the elementary school to read their books and leave them as a gift for each class to add to their class library. The 8th graders enjoyed sharing their culture, a new language, and some delicious milk and cookies with the younger students!
