If you have questions, talk with the coaches. PLEASE NOTE: Last day for all ATAC team training is Friday May 30th. There will be no team training the last week of school June 3-5! Congratulations to our MS Touch teams who traveled to Jakarta last weekend for their season ending tournament. The ISM Touch Bearcats were on fire with the girls team winning their division and both the boys grade 7 and grade 8 teams playing off in the final against each other. The grade 7 boys team came up with a great win to take out the gold medal for this annual event hosted by Jakarta International School. Fantastic job Bearcats and a huge thanks to Coach Van Der Merwe, Coach Conte and Coach Highland who have done such a great job during the season and last weekend.
