The Class of 2026 Grade 12 students celebrated their last day of regular classes with an assembly, clap-out, and lunch this past Wednesday. It was the end of an era for Nadia and me, with Ocean graduating next month, we will no longer have our children at school with us while we are working. Ocean is ready to be done with PK-12 education, and we are excited for her next step. However, it is sad that we now join the rest of the working world by not having our children at our workplace. Every day is Bring Your Child to Work Day with international school teachers. It was probably the biggest “perk” of being an international school educator for all these years. Just having the opportunity to glimpse them at lunch in the cafeteria or to really understand their lives was special.
Ocean will now be on study leave until IB exams start next week. I accompanied her to watch the volleyball championships this weekend we are hosting at our school. Nadia and I are supporting her as she finishes high school on a strong note.
