End of the Year Celebration
On Sunday, May 31, 2026, we celebrated the end of the school year. The program started with students joining on stage and singing “Ey Iran.” Ali Sadr, ISSD’s principal, welcomed the students and parents. The graduates of the Class of 2026 marched on stage to receive their certificates. The winners of the Reading Olympics were announced and received their awards. The student Teaching Assistants were called on stage to be recognized. The theater group then performed an amazing play called Khorous Zari Pirhan Pari. The program continued with performances by the school’s Persian Dance Academy dancers, who performed a beautiful and colorful dance. Students then joined apple-eating, painting, and water balloon contests. After the games, students received their report cards and a copy of the freshly printed yearbook for the 2025-2026 school year. At the end, students enjoyed hot dogs and pizza, provided by the PT
