To the Panther Community - I hope each and everyone of you is well and safe where ever you are right now.

It has been a tough year for the Panthers but we did start to rebuild in season 1 after covid for 2 years and had some football games and a cross country race with Kyiv International School. We also managed to get half of season 2 and were preparing for a swim tournament and basketball games with Kyiv International School before things changed our lives in Kyiv / Ukraine.

We have had some highlights for 2021 - 2022 as listed below and I hope you can remember them for the future:

1. Gym change room murals

2. Season 1 awards

3. PSI v KIS football games and cross country races

4. Co hosted the first ever CEESA Virtual Swim meet with AAS Moscow

5. New cool student designed Panther Merchandise - frisbee, pop socket, bucket hat etc

6. Panther Wedges for the gym

7. Some new sports programmes - Artistic Swimming and Winter football and Crossfit.

Plus many more new opportunities.

I wish all of you a great summer and hope you get the opportunity to be active and healthy.

I will always be a Panther and will miss you all but I plan to back when it is safe and possible to do so.

PANTHER Promise!
