Kính gửi các bạn học sinh và Quý phụ huynh IGS,

Khi nhìn lại chặng đường năm 2024, tôi không khỏi tự hào và biết ơn vì cộng đồng IGS mà chúng ta đã cùng nhau xây dựng. Đây là nơi tràn đầy sự gắn kết, tò mò và sáng tạo – một môi trường mà mỗi cá nhân đều được truyền cảm hứng để phát triển và vươn xa.

Trong suốt năm qua, các IGSers của chúng ta đã thể hiện tinh thần ham học hỏi và khát vọng trưởng thành khi nhiệt tình tham gia vào những hoạt động ý nghĩa. Từ sự thành lập của Hội đồng Học sinh đến các sự kiện như “IGS in My Heart” hay cuộc thi “Dear Santa,” các em không chỉ khám phá sở thích riêng, phát huy sự sáng tạo mà còn rèn luyện những kỹ năng quan trọng cho tương lai. Những hoạt động này phản ánh xu hướng giáo dục hiện đại, nơi sự độc lập, khả năng thích nghi và tinh thần hợp tác được đặt lên hàng đầu, chuẩn bị cho các em sẵn sàng trước những thay đổi của thế giới.

Những thành tựu này sẽ không thể đạt được nếu thiếu sự tận tâm, sáng tạo của đội ngũ thầy cô giáo – những người luôn mang đến những trải nghiệm học tập trực tuyến đầy cảm hứng. Đồng hành cùng đó là sự hỗ trợ hết lòng từ quý phụ huynh – chỗ dựa vững chắc để các em học sinh tự tin vươn tới thành công.

Bước sang năm 2025, chúng ta cùng chia sẻ một tầm nhìn chung về sự đổi mới, phát triển và gắn kết. Mục tiêu của chúng tôi là tiếp tục xây dựng một môi trường thân thiện, truyền cảm hứng, nơi mọi học sinh đều cảm nhận được sự đồng hành và hỗ trợ để đạt được ước mơ của mình. Những sáng kiến sắp tới như Tết Donation Campaign, IGS Culture Day, Summer Camp 2025 và nhiều sự kiện thú vị khác sẽ mở ra những cơ hội để các em khám phá, sáng tạo và tìm thấy ý nghĩa trong từng trải nghiệm.

Hãy cùng nhau biến năm 2025 thành một hành trình đầy những cột mốc đáng nhớ, những thành tựu tự hào và những kỷ niệm không thể quên. Xin cảm ơn vì sự gắn bó và đồng hành của mỗi thành viên trong gia đình IGS. Chúc tất cả một năm mới tràn đầy niềm vui, thành công và cảm hứng!

With a radiant smile and a proactive approach to learning, Thảo My, an Ivy Global School student, has deservedly earned the title of outstanding student for May. Having joined IGS just over a semester ago, she has quickly made a significant impact with her positive energy and enthusiastic participation in all activities.

Thảo My is a delightful girl who eagerly embraces various school events, including IGS Dear Santa, IGS In My Heart, and IGS Green Fest. Notably, in the Act For Earth competition, she impressed everyone with her inventive creation: a used battery collection robot crafted from recycled materials like cardboard and toilet paper rolls. Going beyond just completing the project, Thảo My brought her "green robot" to the Green Fest in Ho Chi Minh City and simultaneously launched a personal initiative to collect used batteries within her apartment building and during the Green Fest event itself.

For Thảo My, the most rewarding aspects of each day are learning from her teachers and friends and sharing positivity with those around her. Since becoming an IGS student, she has become more dynamic and self-assured, demonstrating clear growth not only academically but also in her engagement with the community.

Her family provides unwavering support, consistently encouraging Thảo My on her journey of development. Her parents shared, "For us, it's enough that our child can play, learn, and grow naturally. We are always there for her, supporting all her passions and choices." With her creativity, responsibility, and a loving heart, Thảo My is truly an inspiring figure within the IGS community. We wish her continued success in shining brightly and spreading that positive green spirit to many more people! 💚🌱

🌱 Instead of simply resting, the IGSers warriors chose a vibrant weekend at Green Fest – a simultaneous event in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City where students plunged into a green, creative, and high-energy atmosphere.

♻️Right from the entrance, eager youngsters brought recyclable waste to the Eco Ticket (Exchange Station) to kick off their experience. Green ticket in hand, they dove into a variety of engaging activities: planting their own trees at the Adopt A Plant booth, personalizing pots at Make A Home, molding clay and crafting accessories at The Clay Corner, or joining the "Your Old, My New" Swap Shop to exchange books and toys. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement at the Green Corner, showcasing creatively recycled items crafted by the students themselves. Each step offered a meaningful experience, from the Lucky Draw booth to partner booths like De La Sól, Green Life, and Nha Nhieu La – all highlighting inspiring sustainable initiatives for eco-conscious living. Notably, at Wild Rhino Vietnam's booth dedicated to rhino protection, the children also learned about wildlife conservation efforts and personally wrote pledges and commitments to nature.

🌍 Capping off a day brimming with memorable moments, Green Fest was more than just a festival – it was a journey spreading the message of green and responsible living through the small yet significant actions of each IGSers member.
