Principal's List September 1

The Principal's List is back!  Each list celebrates those students who have recently shown ISB Core Values (Global Mindedness, Integrity, Respect, Balance, Service, Creativity) in a way that got their teachers' attention.  A big thank to all these students for leading us all with their example.  They should each get a cool Principal's List badge from their homeroom teacher today!  A big thanks to our Middle School PTA for providing the badges!

Grade 6

Abigail Toone comes to each class ready to learn and participate fully.  She is also very quick to compliment the skills of her teammates.  Good sportsmanship, Abby!

Joel Kumi demonstrated excellent Respect and Integrity on MS Olympic day during Newcomb Ball. He encouraged team mates, showed great leadership, and tried to make sure that everyone on his team got a chance to play.

Integrity, respect: Katie Kim is always prepared, on time, helping others get organized and helpful to me, as well. She volunteers regularly in class, with enthusiasm.

Bryan Lim has really stepped up over the last two weeks by helping out his fellow classmates without being asked.

Hannah Wills has made a great impression on being new to ISB but also being new to her homeroom. She has shown 'Service' by being considerate of the class pet Chewbacca and feeding him when needed.

Erica Pan demonstrated caring, respect, and integrity by volunteering to be a mentor buddy for a new student. She took her responsibilities seriously and made sure the student was looked after and felt welcome during the first week of school. Erica has also set a good example for her peers through her positive attitude, excellent work habits,  and modeling of appropriate behavior.

Abby Toone showed a commitment to service when she volunteered to run an important errand for her teacher during Mentoring Class. Great job Abby.

Bersabeh Belay showed a commitment to service when she volunteered to run an important errand for her teacher during Mentoring class. Great job Bersabeh.

Eric Wang was absent early on in the year, and he showed integrity by coming to make up the work he had missed at lunch the day he returned to school. He immediately made up the classwork and the homework as best as he could.

Leon Guan demonstrated great responsibility and integrity as a learner last week, when he came in after school to ask questions about a science assignment. He didn't rush and took his time learning. Great job!

Jason Lau is new to ISB this year and is demonstrating balance in organizing his planner for his work load and in making new friends in grade 6! Way to go Jason!

Grade 7

Ben Bailey demonstrated integrity when he apologized and took ownership for disrupting our Chinese class when he entered the room late. He also demonstrated respect for our classroom guidelines and expectations.

Huck Henderschedt has shown great leadership and courage in his collaborative work during our first weeks of FA.  His thoughtfulness is particularly evident in his writing and discussion.

Ethan Koh showed his extraordinary tech skills by taking the lead to make the homeroom video for FA3.

Ben Bailey showed integrity when he brought the contents  (some money) of the desk he was sitting in, up to me, to make sure the owner might be found. I appreciated Ben's willingness to take care of the situation and the promptness with which he carried it out! Thanks, Ben!!!

Jerry Zheng showed integrity by turning in the money he found in the hallway.

Lynn Chen showed kindness and respect  at the MS function by going out of her way to make sure her classmate was taken care of.

Grade 8

Nefertiti Cheung served as a buddy to a new student in the first weeks of school and, in the process, extended her helpful and friendly attitude to all of her classmates in a way that  helped to build a strong sense of community in our class!

Kevin Hong demonstrated service and creativity as he went above and beyond as DJ for the Back to School Bash. He put time and effort into the job and his excellent musical taste resulted in a fantastic dance for all. Thanks for a great start to the functions, Kevin!

Haylie Wampler showed great creativity in her Chinese class work. She is using a variety of visuals to support her ideas so to make her expressions more effective and attractive to the audience.

I am going to score a lot of goals, Mell Mbaoh said on the way to the Olympic Day soccer field.  But as I reffed the afternoon games I did not see Mell score a single goal. What he did do is show off some impressive dribbling skills and pass off the ball some someone else could score. Respect.
