Dear AISM Community,

As we make our way into the routines of September and the rainy season of Liberia that tends to keep us inside more than we would like; it's a perfect time to reflect on goals for ourselves and our students. We know that consistency is the cornerstone of progress therefore by embracing a daily regimen that provides structure, we can create a space where students thrive. By beginning each day with a morning routine that includes a hearty breakfast and a positive mindset to start each day, to setting aside dedicated time for homework and study, we are creating the village that it takes to raise a child.

Let's encourage our students to define their goals with small daily steps that build good habits. Our dedicated teachers are here to guide and inspire our students every step of the way. By fostering a growth mindset we can empower our students to take ownership of their personal learning journey. In the coming weeks, you can look forward to After School Activities ASA's beginning which will be an opportunity for students to grow and explore extra curricula activities outside the classroom.

Stay tuned for more announcements and participate in activities, to make the most out of what AISM has to offer. As we go through the rainy season here in Liberia let’s remember all the good things that come from the rain. Thank you for your continued support of AISM.

Kind regards,

Dr.Bobbi

Dr.Nunez, is the Regional Medical Officer at the US Embassy he came to pay AISM a visit last Friday. He brought a bag of goodies to our School Nurse that included: 2 Epi Pens, Children's Tylenol, an Inhaler, and other first aid supplies for the AISM Nurse's office. His office will also invite the AISM Nurse and staff to a CPR training in the near future. He had time to take a quick tour of the campus, we stopped by the 1st grade class where he was really popular!

ASA's begin September 11th!

ASA's are an opportunity for students to participate in extra curricula activities that include: sports, dance, drumming, African crafts, jewelry making, chess, painting, homework assistance, coding and more.

Dear AISM Parents,

During the Teacher Orientation Week we were fortunate to have had Emergency Preparedness training by the US Embassy RSO Office. We are practicing Safety Drills with our students that the RSO's office has observed and given feedback about. One other way we are practicing safety is to establish an AISM Parents WhatsApp group. We will use this group to send schoolwide messages, reminders and in case of an emergency. To sign up, simply open WhatsApp and use the camera to scan the QR code below and you will be added to the AISM 2023 -2024 Parent Group.

You are invited to be a participate in the AISM PTA!

We will hold the 1st meeting on Thursday, August 31st in the SPR 3pm -4pm.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
