Diwali, the festival of light, is a time to celebrate the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. Nobody is celebrating light over darkness at this time around my home in Alaska this time of year... the daylight is slipping, winter quickly approaching, and for many the associated emotional lull. But on our campus things are buzzing and feel bright even amidst the NE monsoon's clouds and rains.
On Tuesday the High School had an assembly to recognize students. There were awards and recognition for the Discover India photo contest, for the SAISA athletes, for recognizing Vision for an AISC Learner award recipients, and to announce the students that received recognition as National Merit Scholars. Arts, athletics, academics and community all represented. It felt like a nice slice of our student's lives. See the slides from the assembly here.
