End of the Year Breakfast

The IB End of the Year Breakfast was a huge success! Parents and Largo's IB Partners brought various breakfast items, juices, and coffee to start the morning off right. The four classes of students, teachers, and administrators did the rest bringing squirt guns, water balloons, frisbees, and a tug of war rope.

Thanks to our photographer Winchester Dermody for the fantastic photos that can be found HERE.

IB exams are finished!

Largo's International Baccalaureate seniors gathered for three weeks at Prince of Peace Church to finish out their last piece of the program; exams. Everyone agreed it wasn't as horrible experience as they had conjured in their minds. All of the students felt comfortable and prepared by their teachers, but it was still a relief when the last bell signaled the end.

Thank you to Prince of Peace Church and their staff for one again hosting the school and its seniors.

Thank you to our proctors Jyoti Patel, Pam Potter, Jamie Daniel, Audrey Schechter, Pam Warren, Anya Corvin, Sunila Spano, Karez Zandy, Tara Kivett, Deborah Pettey, Win Dermody, Stacey Zidi, and Cara Boos.

Thank you to our guidance counselor, Mrs. Wolfe, and to our IB Coordinator, Mr. Liem, for the hours they too put in preparing the testing room and proctoring the exams.

We look forward to hearing the results in July!
