The International School of Aruba Parent Teacher Association celebrates it's first ever Family and Alumni Reunion Day at the school's Wayaca campus. On Sunday, May 21 from 3 pm to 6 pm, the ISA will have an afternoon of fun for all ISA families, as well as an “All Call to Alumni” to include all past students, parents, teachers and associates of the school.
In an effort to develop an Alumni Association, there will be a registration/welcome table, especially for this group. Alumni are urged to stop by and add their names to a database, the goal of which is to strengthen the bonds between former students and associates and the current ISA community.
Headmaster, Bob Werner, welcomes ISA families to this special day, dedicated to our children, their parents and all alumni. The day will begin with games planned for every age level, allowing children to team up with their parents for a chance to win at anything from an egg toss to a softball game. Teachers, students and the PTA are working together to make sure each game is child and parent friendly.
Following games, Joey's Restaurant, located in Bubali, will serve up a fabulous BBQ fit for the hardworking game players. Included in the BBQ is dessert and soft drinks to quench the thirsts and keep the blood sugars elevated for the competing families.
During the dinner break, Judy Carvalhal, Owner and CEO of Ecuador based Enchanted Expeditions, will inform the group of the wonders of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. As a parent in the ISA community, Judy has graciously donated two tickets for a 7 day cruise around the Galapagos. These tickets will be live auctioned and monies collected will be spent on school projects. Information on the cruises and other tours by Enchanted Expeditions can be found at www.enchantedexpeditions.com.
A further treat to our families is a one of a kind painting by local artist and ISA parent, Bettina Hagenah. Bettina has exhibited at Access Art Gallery. The PTA is most appreciative of her unique donation. Her work, entitled “Orange” will be silent auctioned during the course of the event. Bettina has donated all funds raised from her artwork to the PTA for expenditure on the students and staff.
