We took off with the excitement of Sports Day, making sure children, staff and parents were well hydrated. While some parents were manning the stall, others were decorating the school for the next day, the long-expected Teacher and Staff Appreciation Day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We would like to thank the whole KIS community for another successful event, especially to parents who volunteered their time to stand in during lunch hours, so that our teachers were able to relax and enjoy the amazing amount of delicious food brought in on that day. Also, our heartfelt thanks go to all the generous parents who put in the effort to cook, assemble and bring over an overwhelming spread of international dishes that were savoured with appreciation by our Teachers and Staff. The bunting created by the children and parents gave a unique touch to the day and the rest of the week. We are still receiving notes from teachers, thanking all parents and children for their efforts:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt really does show the generosity of our parents and it is humbling to be a part of this great community.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThank you for recognising not just the teachers but all the staff at KIS &#8211; particularly all the admin and support staff who work so hard and are so vital to the running of the school\u201d<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid style=&#8221;load-more&#8221; items_per_page=&#8221;6&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1556861161436-f62a584c-2059-8&#8243; include=&#8221;9457,9458,9459,9460,9461,9462,9463,9464,9465,9467,9468,9469,9470&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c\u2026would especially like to say a personal thank you for the hugely considerate and kind way in which food containing nuts and peanuts were so clearly labelled and kept in a clear and obvious part of the room. \u2026 being able to try so much amazing food and know that it was completely safe to eat was just wonderful!
