AIS 2019 International Day
May 31, 2019
This year each grade will be responsible for preparing a table about their class’ selected country. We want the tables to be interesting and recommend cultural or historical facts that will interest the students and guests.
Past fairs have had the students and parents create meals and snacks from their selected countries, demonstrate local games, and dress in traditional garb. We do encourage all students to wear some sort of traditional garb and teachers are free to do the same for the fair. There will be traditional songs and dances on the day of the show.
Please begin to discuss and plan for your table presentations as the date (31 May) is fast approaching. Thank you for your participation.
AIS 2019 Spring Cookout & Musical
April 18, 2019
Long ago, in the faraway land of ancient Greece, there was a golden age of powerful gods and extraordinary heroes. Not many people today believe in the gods of Ancient Greece. However, their stories are still around, and they live on in all of our memories. Our students will perform a musical show to let us know the stories that make up the body of Greek mythology and what remains of their culture’s deeply held beliefs. The stories of Zeus and his family of gods atop Mount Olympus, the tallest mountain in the world. From there they looked down upon the world of humans and took interest in the lives of ordinary people. The gods did more than just watch — sometimes, they acted. When a ruler did not pay them homage, you could bet a god would show up and teach him a lesson. When an enterprising hero started out on a righteous quest, a god would be there, too. An awareness and acceptance of the gods was part of daily life for the Greeks. So come and discover this golden age with us here at Albanian International School
AIS Cookout
The students and staff will be served American hamburgers and cheeseburgers and Albanian style hot dogs fresh off the grill.

Join us for an evening of fun, activities, and CANDY!!!!
