Taking a positive and active interest in every aspect of the school is a key to what makes Board members such valuable people.

(Left and Above): Mr. Glen Kraatz and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eichfeld attend Parents' Night.

CARAVANS, the theme chosen for the 1987-1988 school yearbook seems particularly appropriate for us at SAIS-R. The ancient caravans which once crossed the deserts of Arabia carried not only goods but ideas and knowledge from one part of the world to another. Like the early wanderers who accompanied those caravans, we are all travellers on a journey as well. For our students and staff, it is a journey measured not only in miles but in a wealth of shared experiences. In an international school community such as ours, we come close to the ideal global environment. We meet new people and learn from their ideas and diverse cultural backgrounds. An appreciation of different values and beliefs help us grow personally. The 'caravan' that has brought us together will ultimately take us apart, but we will move on enriched by the time we have spent together.

Music is as old as Time in the Arab world and has always played an important role. Almost a thousand years ago specialized percussion instruments, forerunners of those in today's modern orchestras, were developed by craftsmen throughout Asia Minor. Other instruments evolved with pleasing reedy sounds or clear chiming notes. When the Crusaders spread eastward into Arab lands, they discovered a people whose arts were already ancient. They were fascinated with the great variety of instruments they were seeing for the first time. Particularly impressive were the large drums mounted on camel-back and played with a pair of sticks. To the booming cadence of these drum beats, vast Arab armies bravely marched into battle. Music is an endless source of expression. In its long and rich history, it has always provided inspiration, enjoyment and a sense of meaning. Today, at SAIS-R, music still comes from the desert ...

... and music comes from the desert.

... the caravan moves on

For Ninth graders at SAIS-R, this is a special year, a bitter-sweet year, for it means the certainty of moving on. In compliance with the guidelines of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Education, curriculum at SAIS-R terminates at the end of grade 9. Most graduating students will plunge head-on into meeting the requirements for entrance to boarding schools, sitting for the SSAT Exam and writing those allso-revealing essays about themselves. They will spend hours with their parents learning about possible schools and completing applications. Certificates and awards earned by the students are gathered together, recommendations are written by teachers and transcripts are prepared. It is an important year for the student and his entire family, a year when some serious choices must be made. While some students welcome the opportunity to have a boarding school experience, others prefer to stay with their families, a decision which may necessitate a move to a new location or returning home to live with relatives. Mrs. Dannie Russell of the SAIS-R Placement Centre coordinates all application material, counsels students and parents, and organizes a very successful and informative annual Boarding School Fair.

The Intermediate School is comprised of grades four through six representing forty-one nationalities. Similar to the title of this year's yearbook, Caravans, students have been engaged in an exciting and challenging journey where they have grown mentally, socially, emotionally and physically. The instructional program emphasizes the explanation of new concepts, the mastery of basic skills and the promotion of the idea that learning can be enjoyable, rewarding, long-lasting and life-changing. Throughout this year, students have travelled a diversity of trails to discover and to demonstrate their talents, abilities, and leadership qualities. Above all, students have encountered a myriad of experiences that have enhanced their self-esteem and have helped them prepare for their caravan through school and life.

6th Grade Activities Day

Intermediate Moments

• • •

Who ever said that school was all work and no fun? Our sixth graders know first-hand that learning is always an enjoyable experience. One special day teachers plan is Activity Day. Each student participates in six activities. This may seem easy, yet selecting six out of forty great activities becomes a lesson in prioritizing and decision making.

Activities include cooking, leadership training, computer activities, juggling, swimming, educational games, drama, aerobics, geometry, oragami, miniature aircraft, mini-book making, basketball, writing time, scherenschnitte, kickball and art activities, to name only a few.

Students pass from one activity to the next every forty-five minutes. They gain an understanding of Junior High scheduling and have an opportunity to experience various teaching styles. Guest instructors give the day that very special touch. Imagine a class with the Superintendent. Many administrators and specialists enjoy sharing their expertise.

At the end of this special day students are filled with excitement and have gained a real education!

On October 24,1987 the United Nations celebrated its 42nd birthday. In recognition of this event, Javier Perez de Cuellar, Secretary-General of the United Nations, sent a message to the children of the world asking them to take a few moments to think about the words of the U.N. charter signed in San Francisco in 1945. In part, the charter says: "To save succeeding generations from the scourge of war" we will " .. practice tolerance and live together in peace .. as good neighbors."

John Burkett Danielle Carrera Erin Dixon

Above: Shown here with U.N. representative Ms. Nada al-Asaad, the winners of United Nations flag kits for writing the most thought-provoking and insightful letters are: Front Row: Ms. Nada al-Asaad, Wendy Abbott, Skye Fiedler, Wasana Manamperi, Asma Ghani. Back Row: Hsuan-Ti Feng, Debby Prespare, Erin Nicole Kelly, Kristi Shields, Saba Akbar. Not shown are: Sophia Ali, Blanche Fehlberg, Nairu Tokumasu.

SAIS-R, with 56 nationalities represented, is a mini-United Nations and a living example of understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Mrs. Frankie Morgan, Intermediate School Librarian, invited students in grades four through six to participate in a series of events focused on the role of the United Nations and the remembrance of its 42nd birthday. The children were encouraged to write letters to the Secretary-General and to attend a special presentation given by a UN representative, Ms. Nada al-Asaad. 197 letters were collected from Intermediate students and were forwarded to the United Nations in New York. Twelve of the best were chosen for special recognition and those children received UN flag kits containing flags of all the member nations. It was a special event and one in which Intermediate students learned a great deal about the U.N. Happy birthday, United Nations!
