45th Anniversary Fundraiser a Great Success!

This year marks the 45^th Anniversary of the International School of Paris. In celebration of our achievements and in recognition of our administrators and families, past and present, ISP had a gala fundraiser on  Saturday, February 13, 2010 at the elegant Residence of the Serbian Embassy, just steps away from rue Beethoven. There was international food, dancing and a unique auction in support of learning at ISP.

The proceeds from both the ticket sales and donations to this gala event will be used to promote continued excellence in our student-centered education by:

• funding special curricular projects to enrich student learning this academic year.
• expanding our endowment fund for staff professional development to provide long-term support for recruiting and retaining qualified staff.
• providing scholarships to assist qualified students to attend ISP.

Specifically, items that our teachers need this year but that were not included in their budgets were "purchased" before and during the Gala event.  Thanks to the generosity of our parents, all the items below were funded:
