In keeping with the theme: “Many Cultures – one global language: education” hundreds of partners, guests and friends of our school came together to celebrate cultural diversity here at ISR during our annual International Spring Festival last Saturday.

Students presented their projects in their classrooms and visitors had the opportunity to view numerous art exhibitions on display throughout the school. Fun-filled activities, sponsored by our partners and supported by our SLO® Students, as well as a colorful open-air stage program entertained our guests. Numerous bands, dancers and artists created an outstanding atmosphere on campus.

These beautiful moments were captured on camera by one of our wonderful ISR mothers and professional photographer (Melanie Osterried Fotografie), who also offered additional Family Fun Portraits for all visitors for free. A raffle with great prizes for kids closed off the wonderful event.
We would like to thank all our visitors and partners who made this day special and of course a huge thank you to our teachers and students who worked so hard to make this event a success. Additionally, a special thank you goes to our outstanding parents, who once again surpassed themselves with this year’s “Taste of the World” Buffet and who lovingly decorated the whole school.

Thursday, 02 May 2019
This year too, ISR was finely represented at the METRO Marathon via our runners and our bright yellow American school bus. Around 20 ISR students successfully competed in the Kids Cup and performed outstandingly well. We are very proud of our youngest marathon enthusiasts and can’t wait for them to embark on their first marathon relay race.
Not only our students, but also numerous parents and staff members enthusiastically participated in the marathon. They demonstrated strong group performances in the marathon relay. A special mention goes to an ISR mum for her team spirit in jumping in spontaneously and running almost half a marathon. At the end, all runners proudly took home a medal and ended the eventful afternoon with a cosy get-together with music, drinks and a few snacks. The exciting day came to a lovely end with everyone exchanging their personal running stories and marathon experiences.
We can’t wait for the next METRO Marathon and would like to thank all participants and helpers for their support and METRO for the outstanding organization.
