We urge everyone to participate! We sent a separate form to students via email and will be sharing both sets of data with all stakeholders later this month. Kudos to Ardy Riego and ASB for planning and making happen (with lots of faculty, staff and Admin involvement) ALL of the amazing events of the week. Here are some photo highlights from the game:

Thank you Savannah Addy, Dan Sutton, Ryan Kinser, Karen Nylund Lieb and Victor Mignea for allowing visiting teachers from China observe your period 7 classes / tutorials. Sponsored through the American International Academy, One World Education and UCSD, Robin toured them through our campus and some of our wonderful classes.  They were very impressed with all of our programs and facilities. If any teacher has an interest in taking our students to China or going on a similar 10 day trip to visit schools in China, please let Robin know.
