Basketball Tournament/Spirit Week

Man, I really don't update this thing often enough, do I?  Sorry about that!

Last weekend was ICSB's annual enormous basketball tournament.  We had schools from Kiev, Ukraine, St. Petersburg, Russia, Moscow, Russia, and Bucharest, Romania fly in for a huge weekend of basketball.  Of course, the week leading up to it is also a major party week - Spirit week, Valentine's day, and the 100th day of school.

Here are some pictures of the events:

Dress Up as Your Dream Job Day - we had a vet, a secret agent, a fashion designer, 2 bakers, a doctor, a horse racer, a librarian, a business man, a DJ, a physicist, a lawyer, and a soccer player

A chef and a secret agent retelling a Bible story with a Puppet app

A stylist and a vet working on their own puppet show

Diana dressed as a baker and I dressed as a figure skater

Spirit Day/Crazy Hair Day involved lots of face painting

All of the schools coming together to encourage each other - so special as so many people from the 5 schools were hurting.  It was a beautiful thing to see the Body of Christ exhibited by our students and community

Victory for ICSB - boys and girls!
It was a really difficult week/weekend for our school and then KCA went back to a difficult situation themselves as did IASP.  Please keep our schools and communities in your prayers.  They are very much desired and needed right now.

We really love our tournament.  We love the excitement of 3 days of basketball.  We love the opportunity to minister to other students, families, and schools that don't know Christ.  We love the coming together of our community.  And we love the unity that it shows in Christ - we are rivals on the court but our connection is deeper than basketball.  We love each other and support each other because we know Christ.
