Middle School Volcanoes: Students in the Middle School are assigned to groups named after one of 6 different Indonesian volcanoes. Competitions in events are held each semester to determine the winner of the Caldera Cup, onto which is inscribed the reigning champion volcano's name. In December, 2012, the Salak volcano group nearly won the Cup for the third consecutive semester, which would have been an unprecedented accomplishment at JIS.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
