This month, almost fifty 3rd-5th graders are competing in Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB). These Lower School students have read an impressive 16 books, and will work in teams to answering book-based trivia questions in a round-robin style tournament. The team with the most points at the end of the competition will earn the honor of representing FAIS at a regional tournament in March. Winning at Regionals would mean a chance to compete later in the spring at the state level. 

Arts Week (February 25 - March 1) will feature some exciting new workshops that have never been offered, including illustration, table tennis at Paddle Palace Club, and Ninja Warrior Fitness at Skyhook Ninja Fitness:

This year, 5th grade teacher Aurore Molerus began a 4th-6th grade PM Class on journalism to work toward creating FAIS's first student-led publication: The Satellite! Students investigate their subjects during the week... then come together Thursdays after school to explore different forms of journalism, discuss content, and edit stories relevant to the school, community, city, and more (in both French and English). 

Have you ever wondered who was the man in the huge painting in the library? The one right next to Robin's classroom door? Have you ever wondered: "why is there a leopard in the background?" or "why is this building on fire?" Well... let me tell you a little bit about him and this painting OF him.
