ISK would like to extend a huge thanks for all of the work Ms. Tolon and other elementary teachers put in to guarantee this was a huge success.
On the evening of February 25, the ISK community was given the distinct pleasure in helping the 4th grade class raise money to benefit victims of the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti. The 4th graders at the International School of Kigali, in the midst of a social studies unit on the importance of being global citizens, learned of the tragic earthquake in Haiti, and were determined to help out. They decided to host a talent show/bake sale to raise money to send to Doctors Without Borders, a medical relief organization aiding earthquake victims in Haiti. They set to work holding auditions for the show, making posters and fliers to
advertise, finding donated baked goods to be sold, and inviting friends and family to take part.
The show and bake sale were a huge success, with more than150 people in attendance. The talents ranged from song and dance routines to comedic acts to a marionette performance. Over 320,000 RWF were raised, proving the event to be successful as well as entertaining!
We are so incredibly proud of our fabulous 4th graders and admire their hard work and dedication to a meaningful cause. Way to go, 4th grade!
