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.

One of the special events sponsored by the Enrichment Center is SAIS-R’s weekly Poetry Break. Oral presentations of poems are shared by students and staff to develop an appreciation of poetry in grades 1-6. This year, SAIS-R is honored to have students from fifty-six countries. Some come to our school with no P'n-glish language skills and many come from diverse academic backgrounds. With our aim of providing quality and successful educational experiences for our entire student population, SAIS-R is fortunate to be staffed with outstanding teachers and specialists. Toward Excellence The SAIS-R Resource Teams are composed of specially trained professionals. They include teachers, counselors, the school psychologist and speech therapist, and teachers in the English as a Second Language (ESL) program. ESL teachers work to prepare students whose first language is not English to be able to understand, participate and contribute successfully in communication and written work using standard English. Remediation of specific academic skills is offered by other specialists. Working together, the Resource Teams attempt to help our varied school population from grades 1 through 9 adjust to the demands of a large school.

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 ...

Students presented original, humorous solo and group scenes in the classic mime tradition, relying only on their white-gloved hands, black and white faces and clothing. No props were used as the students silently communicated the magic of mime to their audiences. Mime was first used as an art form by Etienne Decroux and was popularized by his better known student, Marcel Marceau. Drama students at SAIS-R study mime as their first introduction to character development.

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 all-so-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.

Grade 7 75 Intermediate Principal: Dr. Tim Hansen Assistant Principal: Joan Miller 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.

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!

Blanche Fehlberg, Nairn Tokumasu. 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.” 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!

The foundation for this progress is developed in the early years of a child’s education. The goal of the Primary School is to provide each child with the necessary skills and tools to build a strong foundation for learning. We strive to achieve this goal by providing our students with an enriched curriculum, excellent materials, a comfortable learning environment and qualified, caring teachers. Our students discover that learning is exciting, challenging and enjoyable. In the Primary School we are aware of our important task and are prepared to successfully attain our goal.
