Rugby 2022 (Braden and Gavin)

 If I haven't said it enough, one of our favorite things about ISB is the plethora of opportunities for the boys to try different things. Braden and Gavin decided to give "Rippah Rugby" a try (pun intended). Due to ongoing COVID restrictions, they weren't allowed to play tackle rugby.  Rippah Rugby is essentially flag football.  So, many of the same rules, just no scrums or tackling.

The coaches are fantastic.  The camaraderie they develop with these kids in such a short time is amazing. Braden and his friend, AJ, were asked by the coaches to give the end of season speech. The kids are given a framework to follow, then they have to write the speeches, deliver it to the Assistant Director of Athletics and then deliver it in front of the athletes and parents at the end of season celebration.  We are very proud of both Braden and Gavin for getting outside of their comfort zone and trying so many new things.  Maybe some of them will become a new passion.

This year started off with a bang, so many activities and events after 3 years of restrictions.  First event of the year was the Booster Club Pancake Breakfast. Pancake Breakfast Checked out Chatachuk Market Spirit Night! We also experienced some pretty unusual Thai weather.  While rain and some flooding is normal, this was extreme by some accounts a 100 year event We even got to go in person for parent teacher conferences and they had a display of a "super hero" project. The kids were asked to pick their super hero trait and write about themselves.  I think they picked the perfect traits.

Back to School 2022

Last year was a new school year in a new country in the middle of a pandemic.  This year was...normal.  Including the very begrudgingly given first day of school photos. So, while Braden and Gavin continue in Middle School (Grade 7), Jamie has moved on to High School (Grade 9). And, I even have a new role, ISB Booster Club President! Wish me luck, trying to resurrect all the activities after more than 3 years.

Family Photo Shoot

 We were so fortunate to have a professional photographer as our neighbor here in Bangkok. It took a couple of tries (the weather didn't cooperate with us), but we managed to get some amazing photos. It was even more fun with friends. The Mougey family, our friends from Kuwait, moved to Bangkok this month and came out with us and got to do a shoot at the same time.
