Message from the Director Welcome to our 21st Annual AISB Parent and Teacher Organization (PTO) Auction Gala!

Welcome to Masquerade Night!

This event has become a tradition in our international community, and it will continue to make a difference in the lives of young students worldwide. The funds raised tonight go towards supporting AISB scholarship students as well as several great projects that benefit all AISB students year-long through the PTO Grants.

AISB offers scholarships to 12 eminent students every year and their experiences would not be complete without the continuous support of the PTO through the funds raised at the Gala.

The AISB Scholarship Program funds enable these academically gifted young people to enjoy a full educational experience through cocurricular activities and programs and change their lives for the better.

The PTO Grant Request Fund is an invaluable program created by the PTO that helps fund projects that fall outside the normal operating budget such as drama and music productions, author visits, and meeting other spectacular

educators. During the past year, the PTO Grants have supported programs that help our children understand the dangers of dependency, enriched the school’s literacy resources, and enhanced student ceremonies and awards, enabling our students to go beyond the classroom and expand their horizons.

I would like to acknowledge the remarkable efforts of our PTO President, Mrs. Sian Ashenden, the PTO Executive Committee and Gala Volunteers, and in particular, Mrs. Dawn Kovacs and Mrs. Deb Harper-Christian, Co-Chairs of tonight’s Ball. I would also like to extend many thanks and much appreciation to our generous sponsors and donors as well as to our esteemed guests, without whom the Masquerade Night would not be possible.

We will surely enjoy an evening of fun with our friends and family, making this event, like the ones before it, one to remember.

Best Regards, Robert Brindley Director

Message from the Gala Chairs Dear AISB Family and Friends, On behalf of the AISB Parent Teacher Organization, we would like to welcome each of you to the 2018 PTO Auction Gala - Masquerade Night. This annual event has become part of the tradition of giving at AISB and what better way to celebrate than by reveling in a little magic and mystery?!

This year’s Gala, like the ones preceding it, is organized to raise funds for the Scholarship Program and the PTO Grant Request Program.

Many bright and talented local children have benefitted from the Scholarship Program and these students have helped to bring a rich tradition of excellence to AISB. Additionally, the PTO Grant Request Program has become an integral part of AISB and has enabled our students to participate in experiences that fall outside the school’s normal offering.

Artists, musicians, and authors in-residence, as well as chemical dependency education and library/reading support are just a few of the exceptional programs that are made possible due to evenings such as this.

A great many selfless parents helped to organize this event and our heartfelt thanks go out to each and every one of you. Through the generosity of our sponsors, patrons and committed members of the AISB community, the PTO continues to play a large part in helping enable our students to become engaged, prepared and inspired in order to make our world a better place.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!

BRYAN JARDINE / AUCTIONEER

NEW VEGAS SHOW / LIVE BAND

Mr. Bryan Jardine is a California-admitted attorney who has lived and worked in Romania since 1996. He is currently the Managing Partner of the Bucharest office of the Vienna-based law firm, Wolf Theiss.

New Vegas Show is a two-man show, fresh on the jazz/swing scene of Romania. It is composed of two exceptional professional soloists, Petru Calinescu and Maximilian Muntean, who both have a genuine love for the Great American Songbook repertoire. New Vegas Show is an exclusive and unique musical concept, touching on elegance and great taste; a tribute that brings the audience right back to the ’40s and ’50s.

Bryan is a member of the Board of Trustees at AISB, and has appeared as a guest auctioneer at a number of charity events over the years, including the OvidiuRo Halloween Ball, the Friends of the National Museum of Art, the Caledonian Ball, and our own AISB PTO Annual Auction Gala.

MATTHEW JONES / MASTER OF CEREMONIES Matthew Jones is a diplomat in Bucharest.

Before coming to Romania, he and his family lived in Jamaica and India.

Prior to government work, Matthew worked as a newspaper reporter and editor in Brazil and the United States, as a documentary filmmaker in Washington, D.C., and New York City, and as a teacher in Hungary.

DJ ALEX VISAN / DJ DJ Alex Visan has loved music ever since he was a child. In 2002 he learned to mix with the help of a good friend of his, DJ Partizan. He is impressed by the techniques of many DJs like Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Gramatik, and Carl Cox. In early 2003, he began promoting electronic music and organizing parties in his native city.

Petru graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, under the guidance of Sir Paul McCartney, while Maximilian completed his studies at the Bucharest School of Arts. They both have a wide experience in performance, both in Romania and abroad.

Together, they participated in the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, reaching the semifinal of the national phase.

In 2015 and 2016 he was a trainer at one of the most respected DJ schools in Romania - DJHighWay. DJ Alex Visan mixes at many private parties and is also invited to DJ at many clubs in Bucharest and around the country: St. Patrick Irish Pub Bucharest, The Tube Bucharest, Kulturhaus, True Club Bucharest, Gargantua Kiseleff, Shoteria, Kilkenny Bucharest, and more.

STUDENT ART AUCTION AISB students have been busy creating vibrant, wonderful art, generously supporting our Auction Gala time and time again with some fabulous pieces. Don’t miss these beautiful masterpieces created by our youngest students.

Thank you to our brilliant PYP art teachers, Mrs. Angela Achim, Mr. Steve Aubin and Mrs. Diana Levy who made these donations possible. Thank you also to the students for working so hard to make these pieces come to life.

FINGERPRINTS TELL UNIQUE STORIES

MARBLED PAPER COLLAGE

Those beautiful little hands are so creative, who knows where they will take those amazing artists in the future. To celebrate the hands and fingers of the EC2, each child has used them to create an abstract finger and hand print, with a giant fingerprint of inspirational quotes from many different sources- to inspire these amazing learners, and their hands, throughout their lives.

We all need more love right now! Grade 2 experimented with marbling paper during our unit on the nature of matter. We made hearts out of our marble paper. Each student then cut a heart out of their own paper.

Each student’s heart is organized in one collage. All of our hearts together make one large heart. All of hearts together will make a world full of love.

DONATED BY: AISB EARLY CHILDHOOD 2 STUDENTS

GOLDEN RELIEF SCULPTURE The EC3 are learning about many different materials, and as they face a future of depleting resources, we wished to save some by using old toys and materials, from many different sources, to create mini masterpieces within the frame of a reused jar lid. In order to harmonize the colors, we were inspired by the artist Louise Nevelson, who would spray paint her found object installations to give them a sculptural harmonious feel. You will agree, this golden sculpture is now one true masterpiece.

DONATED BY: AISB GRADE 2 STUDENTS

HEART COLLAGE Let’s take care of our planet. Inspired by the Elementary musical “One Planet Future”, Grade 3 decided to reuse paper from previous projects. The musical teaches us that if we all do our part we can make a better world. We created small collages of hearts to show how much we love our planet. We hope these repurposed materials inspire you to love our planet too.

PRINT-MAKING COLLAGE

THE MANY FACES OF CHILDREN

During our unit on aesthetics, Grade 4 looked at Islamic tiles and how they influenced European tiles. We created our own tiles as lock prints. We first designed blocks with a couple of lines of symmetry. Then we inked and printed the blocks. Finally each student chose their best print to compile in one large collage.

The EC4 have been flexing their drawing muscles and drawing up a representational art storm. As many students are just acquiring this amazing ability, we wished to celebrate by making a composite picture of all of their wonderful faces in their colorful glory. A chic and modern look which will brighten any business office or living room alike.

AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL ART COLLAGE

PEACOCK PATTERNS

Every culture tells stories in different ways. Grade 5 investigated small details and how they bring a story to life closely investigating the Australian Aborigines. Australian aboriginal art often uses repeated lines, dots, and circles to tell dream-time and spiritual stories. Each student invented their own story and then represented it using lines, dots, and bold areas of color. Together these individual stories create a vibrant, abstract picture.

A peacock spreads his amazing tail feathers to attract the gazes of their female counterparts. The Kindergarten hope to attract you to their amazing patterning abilities, as each student has decorated at least one delicate little feather for this magnificent bird. A giant, glorious work of art waiting for its perfect mate.

OLD CITY TEXTILE COLLAGE The first graders created a beautiful old city in a combined effort, working as a community. Using different fabric collage techniques, students discovered new chromatic challenges, textures, patterns and they explored new shapes. The city they created is a vibrant expression of naive modern art. Each student participated by creating a structure, building, or a house in the city which was later combined into a puzzle to complete a marvelous creation.

DONATED BY: AISB GRADE 1 STUDENTS

Student art pieces will be available as part of the silent auction. Grade 1’s Old City Textile Collage will be in the live auction.

ABOUT AISB COMMUNITY AISB was founded in 1962 by the US Embassy to serve the educational needs of the American and international expatriate community. As the school has grown, many local Romanian families have become part of the school community together with expatriate families from government, business, and social welfare organizations.

AISB has a diverse population of approximately 967 students from 63 countries attending Early Childhood 2 through Grade 12. Romanian students comprise approximately 30% of the student population, American 14%, Turkish 6%, Israeli 5%, and Chinese 4%. The balance are from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, and South and Central America.

FACILITIES Our campus covers ten hectares (about 25 acres), and offers state of the art facilities to our students, including a performing arts theater/auditorium, library & media center, computer labs, cafeteria, gymnasiums, and extensive sports facilities. In 2017, we opened our Early Learning Center, a state-of-the art purpose built facility for our youngest learners. Our new Design and Engineering Center will be completed in 2019 following a Capital Campaign that raised half a million Euros. The campus is located in the Baneasa forest area, approximately 10 km from the center of Bucharest and 13 km from the Henri Coanda International Airport.

FACULTY AISB is committed to high standards of achievement, as exemplified by an exceptional and qualified faculty who have continuous access to current instructional materials, training, and teaching strategies. The school actively supports and encourages the professional growth of its faculty and staff.

ACCREDITATION AISB is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and the Council of International Schools for grades EC2-12, and is authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to offer the IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programs.

AFFILIATIONS AISB is affiliated with: • The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO); • The Council of International Schools (CIS); • The Central and Eastern European Schools Association (CEESA); • The Council for Support and Advancement of Education (CASE); • The College Board; • The Educational Records Bureau; • The U.S. Department of State’s Office of Overseas Schools (A/SO), receiving grant support; and • The Romanian Ministry of Education, receiving institutional recognition.

ABOUT THE PTO

The PTO is an organization of parents and teachers whose goal is to support the education of AISB students by fostering relationships among the school, parents, and teachers. The PTO strives for continued parental involvement to help build a better educational environment for our children.

As well as providing funds for the AISB Scholarship Program, they also provide resources to assist teachers and administrators in doing their best work. Through fundraising, the PTO is able to provide financial support to student and teacher-led projects. They are also involved in supporting projects to help the local community.
