March 6th through the 9th -- 2014 -- ISSTs in Paris

March 6-9, 2014 -- ISSTs Girls Varsity in Paris

The girls played five games in three days and placed 5th out of 12 teams in Paris.  They beat a tough Paris team on the morning of March 6th, but fell to Cairo in the afternoon.  Friday morning after getting crushed by ASL, FIS rebounded and beat a tough Vienna team.  The last day of competition they beat ISB to take 5th place.  Katie was named to the ISST All-Tournament Team.

Despite being  decidedly shorter, S holds her ground
 and disrupts Vienna's star center

One Three that didn't quite make it!

March 3, 2014 -- The send off to ISSTs

March 3, 2014 -- The Send Off

The girls and boys varsity teams had a pasta party on Monday, March 3rd to get them pumped up and ready for ISSTs.  The girls headed to Paris and the boys to Zurich.  Fun was had by all.

February Break 2014 -- Scotland

February 2014 -- University of Aberdeen and the University of St. Andrews

With offers in hand, K, S and I set off to visit the University of Aberdeen and the University of St. Andrews.  We landed in Aberdeen, checked into our hotel and then walked 30 minutes to the University of Aberdeen.  We looked around a bit and signed up for a tour later in the week.  After resting in the hotel, we went to Jamie Oliver's restaurant for dinner.  The next day, we got up early and took the train to Edinburgh.  We had to bribe Katie to get her to consent to this side trip.  We toured the Castle, had a quick lunch and then took the train to St. Andrews.  In St. Andrews, we met Melissa (Nancy Ayre's niece) for dinner and then Sarah met graduates of FIS for lunch the next day.  Thursday, we departed St. Andrews and took the train back to Aberdeen.  The next day we toured the University of Aberdeen and then returned to good old Oberursel.   All and all, we saw some beautiful schools and had some laughs.  Just ask them about the bathroom on the train.  Fun times with K and S.
