Our athletes would normally be in full preparation for the Belgian Special Olympics. We are saddened that they won't be able to compete this year to reach some of their dreams.
We can't wait for the Belgian Special Olympics 2021 to show what it means to be a Raider at ISB.

We are still printing visors and assembling shields for front line workers. Over 400 have been handed out to those in need with great gratitude! #ThisisISB#Covid_19@wordsintobirds@hallbd23
On Friday, our Seniors finished their last 'school' week. They made it extra special by dressing up according to various themes and topped it off it with a big Zoom meet up.
These uncertain times are particularly challenging for them and we are really proud of their resilience.👏
