November 3 was a day bustling with activities – a sports camp from Tracy Evans and her team (Kid Play International), kid’s craft time with Christie Pink and an evening thank you dinner for the teachers and their families. November 4 was a special day when Spitler School was honored with a visit from U.S. Ambassador Heidt. Some of our past graduates, now in 12th grade, were delighted to share their time with him, talking about their life, education and future.
