Today, students from our Thai classes hosted our annual Middle School Wai Khru Assembly. This event is a Thai tradition, during which students express respect and gratitude to their teachers, as the new school year begins.
The assembly could not have been more timely, as, more than ever, we have reason to express our thanks, respect, and appreciation for the work of our teachers. Teachers have started the year online, still building relationships and connecting with students, all while moving learning forward. Now they are tirelessly planning for a hybrid learning environment in which students will be online, live in classrooms, asynchronous, and in some cases, all of the above. Teachers continue to collaborate, plan, and care with the best interests of students and learning in mind.
In the spirit of the Wai Khru … thank you, teachers, for all that you have done and are doing for students. We are fortunate to have such an incredible faculty and staff at ISB.
