Summer Camp is the perfect time to explore a new language and culture. Every camp offers children the opportunity to build language skills through fun hands-on activities, songs, games, outdoor fun and so much more.

Our 5th grade students are having life-changing experiences on their Capstone Journeys. Don’t forget to check out the Capstone blogs to follow along with their daily adventures! Library Volunteers Needed
Our Library Specialist, Tomoyo Wells, is headed off on maternity leave! Upon returning from the Capstone trip to China, Heidi Smith-Evans will be covering for Tomoyo. We are especially grateful to have Heidi’s help as she already knows the library and our students from her many hours volunteering in the library. But having Heidi cover Tomoyo’s maternity leave means she won’t be volunteering her usual 5-10 hours a week in the library. We are already feeling the impact of this with her gone on Capstone! We need to fill in those hours, so if anyone is interested in volunteering in the library, please contact the librarian, Lora, at loraw@intlschool.org. Community Service Day
