South Bend Vibes

 Here is Gabi enjoying the first week in South Bend with friends. 

 

Soccer Match

Rania enjoying cheering on the Ramblers at a football / soccer match. 

 

Fox Paradox

 Pretty delightful to discover a nice new (to us) brunch place after church.  Fox Paradox certainly did not disappoint, with its gluten-free pancakes and delicious avocado, egg meal.  Yum!

 

Chicago Views

In preparation for the new school year, it is always wonderful to enjoy some of the sights and views of Chicago. 

 

Orientation Photo

 

Here is a photo of orientation, including Rania and many others. 

Orientation Moments

 Here are some photos from Rania, getting ready for the start of the school year, including some of her presentations to incoming students. 

 

KL Sunset

 Not surprisingly, the weather did not disappoint, putting on quite a show from the ISKL MS balcony during Open House. It is a picturesque setting, for sure. 

 

MS Open House

 It is always wonderful to welcome parents to Middle School Open House and share so much about what is exciting at ISKL - and all that we have to look forward to this school year. 

 Here are some photos from the evening. 

 

Loyola Sunset

 Pretty wonderful to see the sunset pictures over Lake Michigan. 

 

Start of Senior Year @ ND

 Wow!  Pretty amazing that it is now senior year.  So fun to see pictures of Gabi with her friends - and obviously in such a picturesque setting that is the Notre Dame campus. 

 

Welcome Week Fun

 Rania shared some pictures of enjoying the start of the year, including welcoming those new to the campus.  So grateful she can be a part of the orientation and supporting students who are arriving.

Teepa Observes the Kids Playing

 It is so fun seeing the MS playground getting such great use.  Fun times for the first week of school. 

 

Prof Photos

 

We had some updated professional photos taken as part of the start of the school year - and having Kyle Martin as the new MS principal.  Definitely a few lessons for me on not looking too dumb. . . oh well. 

Chicago Reunions

 So so great that Rania made it back to Chicago, reunited with friends and enjoying the views of Lake Michigan. 

 

United Nations - Geneva

What an incredible photo as Gabi gets to continue to enjoy an amazing experience at the UN conference.  What an opportunity!

 

By the Panther Park

 

A photo, thanks to ISKL marketing, with the kids playing in the background as we chat during the first week of school. 

Belated Anniversary

 With the start of school, we had our most major whiff of our anniversary celebrations. We did our best to recover with a special dinner. 

We were also treated some stunning views, both before and after sunset. 

 

First Day of School!

 Wonderful to welcome students back for the first day of school!

 

ISKL Orientation

 With the day before school, there are plenty of events at ISKL.  Great to welcome new students and new families to the new school year. 

 From laptop orientation to the student-parent session, it is a good day - and so fun to share the story of all that ISKL has contributed to so many families.
