Student Spotlights: Spotlight On Our Student Annabelle
Friday, 24 September 2021
This week, we spotlight our first-grader Annabelle, who joined ISR in kindergarten. Annabelle is a wonderful member of the ISR family. She is incredibly helpful, always offering to take students to the nurse or to help children around her with their work. She enjoys learning inside the classroom as well as outdoors.
As she is part of the ISR family since kindergarten, her former kg teacher, Ms. Fatscher, still remembers about her: “Annabelle is curious, cautious, caring, kind and SO fast! I miss her calming presence in the classroom or outside. Give her any challenge- she will accomplish it! If a friend needs help- you can count on her. Anyone that is in Annabelle’s presence, is lucky to hear all her hilarious stories. You’re a perfect student to spotlight!”
Mr. Baumann, Head of the Sports Department adds, “Annabelle is a bright young girl with a quick perception. She is ambitious and very athletic. When there is a race, Annabelle is always at the front.”
We are very proud to spotlight Annabelle, one of ISR’s many outstanding students!

Today, we celebrated the traditional Chinese Mid-Autmn festival, which is one of the most important festivals in Chinese culture. On this day, the whole family gets together, enjoys the cysanthemum flowers, drinks tea, eats delicious moon cake and watches the moon together that evening. Our students in the SLO Chinese for Foreigners course made beautiful cards for this festival. The activity leader, Ms. Wang-Schuetze, also brought homemade moon cake that day, which was enjoyed by the students.

This week, we spotlight our running champion Philipp, who joined ISR in 2014. Philipp has worked very hard to develop his study skills and time management over the past few years, which has helped him achieve academic success. He is currently studying towards attaining his IB Diploma and produces work of a high standard in Math, Humanities, and Sports Science. His sense of humor and personality have also made him popular with his peers and teachers as he really connects with people. Ms McGee – ISR Academic Coordinator adds, “I look forward to hearing about his future success and I think we will soon see him starting a program at the Hult International Business School.”
One of Philipp’s passions is sport. As part of his CAS project, Philipp took part in the charity run Mammutmarsch in Wuppertal for the second time in a row. This year, he outdid himself and ran 100 km in just under 24 hours. With his outstanding performance, he supported the Neuss Zülow Tandem Foundation, which organizes integrative sports projects for people with disabilities in the Rhine district. Through his participation, he was able to donate €300 once again to the foundation, continuing a long tradition of his family supporting the foundation.
Philipp also shows his passion for sports in a soccer activity for third and fourth graders, which he leads with great commitment together with a classmate. His CAS teacher – Mr Urban adds, “It’s always nice to see how close the bond is with his little brother Felix in third grade as part of the Big brother project. Despite the break due to lockdown, the two have a very close bond.”
We are very proud to spotlight Philipp, one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
