Some of you may have heard the news that AISM has been gifted a new Science Lab and Greenhouse. Below are the architects initial renderings. Although the refurbishment and addition of the Science Lab & Greenhouse have been donated. We still need furnishings and supplies for both the greenhouse and lab. The AISM PTA has set a goal to raise funds towards this effort. Soon you will receive a donation letter from the PTA with more details on how you can be a part of this wonderful giving opportunity.

AISM MUN started its inaugural MUN conference trip on January 31st. Leaving campus around 4:30 pm, the AISM team headed for Farmington hotel, where they spent the night. The following morning, at 4 am, they began their international travel. Three flights later, and 23 hours of travel, the AISM MUN team made it to the Philippines. The next day, the five AISM delegates were networking with fellow MUN delegates and learning about Philippine culture.

During the conference, each AISM delegate ended up being the head of separate blocks despite them having met their fellow delegates less than twenty-four hours before. By the end of the conference, the AISM delegates came together to form their own block and sponsor a resolution. The AISM resolution gained the most signatories. Three out of five AISM delegates addressed the Assembly. The AISM team made us proud!

Outside the conference, the team along with AISM parent chaperones explored the world's oldest Chinatown, the Intramuros, multiple old churches, and the famous Mall of Asia. After months of planning and preparation, we are so happy the trip was a learning experience for all, a beautiful cultural exchange, and a complete success.

Miss Gibson is excited to see who will make up next year's AISM MUN traveling team! Next year we'll attend a MUN conference in an exciting new location as well as the option to be a part of MUN without having to travel.
