The Elementary School is entering the final stretch of our attempt to Read-Around-the-World.

The months of February, March and April had us reading over 13,000 km and we made it from the Masaai Mara, Kenya to our current destination of Kathmandu, Nepal.

Thanks for helping your child to record his/her reading efforts at home each evening as we make the final push back to Yangon before the end of May.

Calvin Pun, senior, approached the PTA for partial funding of the new ISY website to be launched this May. The PTA will donate $5,000 to the development of the website which will include interactive sections on the PTA and the Alumni Association. This will connect students, parents, teachers and alumni of the ISY family!

We want to thank everyone who has been supportive of our PTA activities and fundraising events in order to bring together our ISY global family that extends back 53 years!
