International Fun Fest 2019

On Saturday, the H.I.S. community came together to enjoy the International Fun Fest 2019.

The playground was bathed in sunshine and the beautiful late summer weather, with bright blue sky and light breeze added to the fantastic atmosphere.

Staff, student and parents all contributed to make the event happen. Many thanks for running the activities, for providing food, taking pictures and for contributing to the PTG raffle.

A record amount was raised through the raffle – find out more about this from the next newsletter!

International Fun Fest

Heidelberg International School opened its doors for the International Fun Fest on Saturday morning.Guests had the chance to enjoy a drink from the Tikki Juice Bar and international finger food, receive information and take part in games and other activities.For the first time this year Bobby-Car Racing was offered in the Gym and a grade 8 student set the first record: next year’s champion will have to beat her sensational time: She finished the course in 22 seconds.

Just before the start of the Fun Fest teachers tested the racing course.Wall-climbing, giant bubble making, a giant jenga game and face painting were some of the activities enjoyed by the guests.

The PTG organised a raffle and the winners happily carried away large baskets with wonderful goodies.Many thanks to the Fun Fest Working Group for organising the event and to all helpers and supporters for making it a great experience. Thank you to our wonderful parents – the finger food was delicious!

“Let’s celebrate” seemed to be the motto of the H.I.S. Fun Fest this year. The H.I.S. community enjoyed activities and international food together with special guests and friends of the school. Dr Eckart Würzner, Mayor of Heidelberg, congratulated H.I.S. for its achievements over the past years, especially the Accreditation by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), which the school was awarded last school year. In his speech he pointed out that parents had made an excellent choice by coming to Heidelberg and sending their children to Heidelberg International School.

Beards were a must have at the Fun Fest, a visit at the face painting booth was all that was needed to grow one like Herr Bär.

Delicious international food was prepared by parents and enjoyed by everyone. The Tiki Bar served alcohol free juicy long drinks, “bestseller” was the “IB Sunrise”.
