International Women’s Day at True North International School was filled with joyful moments and thoughtful activities celebrating the women in our community.
The Open Mic Lunch Time brought lively performances and heartfelt messages from students.
At the Photo Booth, teachers and students captured fun memories together.
During the DIY Workshop, students created handmade bracelets and cards with meaningful wishes.
A particularly warm moment came from the Lunch Serving activity, where male students welcomed teachers and female students by carrying lunch trays for them – a small gesture that reflected appreciation and kindness.
Together, these activities created a cheerful and meaningful celebration of appreciation, connection, and community at True North.
