Congratulations, Robyn!

Although we weren't able to attend her convocation from the University of Lethbridge, we did huddle around our laptop at nearly midnight German time waiting to see Robyn walk across the stage and receive her B. Sc. It was well worth it!

The photos from Jeff and Ann-Marie Scott were fantastic. It's nice to know that we had surrogate parents attending on our behalf. Thanks guys!

See you all back in Canada in early July!

How Can We Help Myanmar and China?

Last Friday, the students and staff of Rhein International Academy held a bake sale to help in some small way with the dire needs of people in Myanmar and China. While the Middle School students organized the selling and advertising, the school cooking club baked some delicious chocolate banana loaves, and the First Grade class created some wonderful chocolate chip cookies (including one giant one that was raffled off). In addition, every family at RIA generously donated something to sell.



Thanks to everyone's hard work, we raised about 230 Euros, all of which will be sent to World Vision Deutschland to use as they see fit in the relief efforts.

Mr. Barbour's Middle School Class Goes Formal!

On Wednesday, May 7, 2008 our school welcomed visitors from the community on Open House Day. In honor of this special occasion, and in special honor of the visit of our Oberburgermeister Herr Wolfgang Dietz, the middle school class decided to go all out and dress up for the day......by adding ties to their outfits. What a great looking group!
