We finished the second week of school with our WWW local trip students reflecting about their week from the 56th floor at ION, and our WWW overseas students returning safe and sound from their trips in the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam. We are looking forward to greeting all of the students back into school on Monday and hearing about their experiences. The WWW blog has all the latest pictures and news. issweekwithoutwalls2016/weebly.com

As many of you are aware, every year the PTA solicits donations of gently used books and toys from families and sells them at the Fun Fair (proceeds go back to the school).
