Kim ’Kimmie’ SMALL ‘11* visited SFS on August 16th at the very beginning of the school year. She was visiting from the Philippines. (photo bottom left) She commented that “I remember the times with the dirt field but now I see the Multi Purpose Center and the ES building. It’s great to be back but also feel a little odd and wish I was in a time machine to go back to the time I was in school. However, the campus is gorgeous!” Kim is currently finishing up her last year in college majoring in Philosophy and Economics at Calvin College Michigan.

Joanne MA ‘03 & her husband Jonathon CHOO Right before the Chusok (Korean Thanksgiving) break, Joanne MA ‘03 visited SFS with her husband Jonathon CHOO all the way from Sydney, Australia (photo above). This has been her first visit since she graduated and was excited to see the developments on campus and also show her husband her alma mater. She shared some of her fond memories from SFS such as publishing a book every year at the ‘Richter Publishing Center’ in the Elementary School (she still has those books), going on overseas trips as a member of the Cross Country team, and how spiritually encouraging Psalms and Discipleship was at the High School. Academically, she commented that IB had really prepared her well for college, especially when she had to do ’problem based learning’ at medical school. Most of the students who were used to the traditional learning had difficulties but Joanne was able to cope with her studies easily as she had completed her IB at SFS. The IB also built good studying habits and skills for time management. Joanne also commented that one of her fun activities doing IB was the Extended Essay, which she conducted an independent study on the bacteria of the school swimming pool. Cont.d.. 29
