IB Exhibition, May 12

One more time, the 5th grade students, guided by their teachers and mentors, culminated their PYP (Primary Years Programme) experience with flying colors. They explored environmental topics like water conservation, the Amazon rain forest, and global warming. Social issues like homeless animals and people’s stereotypes.They expressed themselves through art, soccer, and architecture.
Thu Htoo Aung and Aye Hee  designed the t-shirt students and mentors wore.
