Family Celebrations

As is our tradition, we had a Selig Family BBQ on our return to Canada for summer vacation. This year we were in time for Father's Day festivities!

We also celebrated with two of our family graduates: Simon's High School Diploma from Saigon South International School and Brett's Nursing degree from Dalhousie University. We are very proud and excited to see these young people move on to new challenges and adventures!

Graduation Celebration

On May 26 the Class of 2018 from Saigon South International School walked across the stage to celebrate their Graduation from High School. The ceremony was the culmination of a couple weeks of exciting activities. We are very proud of Simon's achievements in High School and look forward to his future success at the University of Waterloo!

PTA and Graduates

The PTA at SSIS traditionally gives a parting gift to the graduates of the Senior class. This year the PTA took on the challenge to make pajama pants for the 74 graduates. Lisa was involved in the selection of fabric, discussions with the tailor, and distribution to the graduates.

Family Visitors

During the last week of May some of Tim's family came for a visit from Taiwan and Canada! It was a fun week to explore the Vietnamese culture and participate in Simon's graduation activities.

Prom 2018

Simon and Sierra attended SSIS Prom 2018 along with their classmates. It was a fun affair complete with pre-Prom gathering of parents and students at the Ross family home, corsages, birthday candles, Prom games, dinner and dancing at The Reverie Hotel. The Modern Renaissance theme provided a great back drop for photos.

Simon was chosen as Prom King, along with Ying Ying as Prom Queen!

A Wedding

On April 21 we were thrilled to attend the wedding of our friends Jeffery and Beatrice. It was a beautiful, meaningful and fun ceremony and reception. We love a good party!

Hippie Birthday

This week Lisa had another birthday! Not a special number but made special because of the people and activities in it. It was the usual busy day! First, was a Skype call with Max -- the best way start to any day!
Then a morning working with friends at PTA to clean and organize the storage closet (and have a piece of Simran's lime cheesecake!). In the afternoon was a Physiotherapy appointment with Simon after his IB exams finished for the day. After school joining Tim to look at a couple of apartments in preparation for our move in June. Supper at the fabulous Coolabah! And on Saturday evening we attended the Faculty Follies fundraising event and talent show. It was a Sixties theme, appropriate for Lisa 1960s birth and a fun time with some great people!
