evening.

Melrica '98!
We measured body parts from head to toe, played games and raced against the clock trying to hold a metric cube together. We measured things allover campus, formed human histograms, and played tug-o-war, But the best part of Metrica '98 was watching the junior high science teachers get dunked upside down in a bucket of water. Our objective was to measure the volume of their heads by measuring the displaced water. Whose head was the biggest? Why, Mr. Arnold's, of coursel It was all fun but we learned a lot about the metric system too.

With almost 50 countries represented at SAIS-R, U.N. Day is a great way to celebrate our heritage, discover our similarities and differences and eat great food from other cultures!

New Students
Some ninth graders will return next fall as SAISR's 10th grade opens
SAIS-R is undergoing a major change and facing an exciting challenge. In June 1997, the Ministry of Education gave permission for international schools to operate high schools. Much consideration was then given to the possibility of SAIS-R adding grades 10, 11 and 12. The decision to do so was made in December 1997, and now the planning is in full swing. In August 1999, a grade 10 class will be started. In the following two years grades 11 and 12 will be added. All of us at SAIS-R are committed to making our future high school the outstanding educational institution our students deserve, and we look forward with hope and confidence to welcoming our first high school class in August.
D,; John Davis, Superintendent Left: Facilities coordinator Robert Thumbeck and High School Principal John Kruk met with architects last fall to discuss logistical plans for the high school.

Eighth and Ninth Graders: Nicole Kondes, Jessica Adam, Robert Sefcik.

Sixth and Seventh Graders: Sara Andersson, Madelen Ueland, Helen Du Plessis, Soo-Yeon Kim, Kate Walker; Kristen Wiebe.

Anti-Tobacco Campaign
The second annual Great SA/S-R Smoke-Out was held in February. Health class students campaigned long and hard through public announcements, anti-smoking articles and contests to get their "no smoking" message across to staff and students. Students even visited elementary classrooms to warn of the dangers of smoking. On pledge days, hundreds of students and teachers promised to quit smoking or never to start. The hard work and planning paid off, and the event was a smokin' success!

Friends
By Melissa Sharpe, 5-H We've been friends for many years. Being apart, who really cares. We can write and talk on the phone. And we won't feel so alone. I remember your long, dark hair. To me you'll always be near. You always had a beautiful smile. Wish you were close; only a mile. Two years has gone by, oh so fast. But my thoughts of you will always last. We had so much fun and many laughs. Together we played like two little calves. You live in America, I in Arabia. Maybe soon we'll meet in Bolivia. Just remember I'm your best friend. And someday soon we'll meet again. Medura is what everyone calls you. My Best Friend is what I call you.

Arabic, French and English as a Second language
What better way to familiarize students with our host country than to teach them Arabic language and culture? Students in grades 2 through 6 have this wonderful opportunity. Students in grades 3 and 4 also take conversational French class, and next year this will be a part of the grade 5 curriculum. And since we are an English-speaking school, ESL classes are offered to enhance the communications skills of the many international students at SAIS-R whose first language is not English.

Arabic culture students do lots of "hands on" projects to learn about Saudi Arabia and its middle eastern neighbors. Top picture: Mrs. Jabbour's students get messy making mud houses with sand. Center and bouom pictures: students make finjans, small Arabic coffee cups, from clay.
