We were thrilled to welcome more than 200 grandparents and special friends to campus today! They started off the morning by seeing their student in action in the classroom, followed by a tasty brunch from St. Honoré’s Bakery, and capped off with musical performances from students in Toute Petite Section (our early preschool for 2½ year-olds), preschool, and 4th grade.
“Measure twice, cut once.” Rounding out a semester-long interdisciplinary project between art and math, 7th graders apply what they've learned in geometry to design compositions out of wood.
Fifth grade students sent letters to Governor Kate Brown to ask for more protections for wolves in Oregon as part of their exhibition project. This week, they received a response back! Keep up the great work!
Kindergarten and 1st grade families gathered Thursday night for Bedtime Story Assembly: a 25-year FAIS tradition, started by longtime English teacher, Robin Faltersack.
