The
Chalhoub
Group
Library
The Chalhoub Group Library
was dedicated on June 7
in
the presence of IC President,
John Johnson and direc-
tors.
Patrick Chalhoub ‘75
personally came to the library
and met some of the stu-
dents. After a brief poetry
reading by CM2 and grade 5
students, Mr. Chalhoub sat
with the students on the floor
as he talked to them about
the importance of helping the
community. He was also asked
to unveil the flag outside the
building to reveal the name:
“Chalhoub Group Library”.
He was also presented with a
book containing copies of his
old grades at IC and several
pages of notes from Elemen-
tary school children thanking
him for the library.

Six Middle School boys accompanied
by IC Music Director, Randa Sabah,
represented IC at the Annual European
Middle School Boys choir in Aberdeen,
Scotland. The boys, Afif Fakhred-
dine, Adam Hallab, Omar Baghdadi,
Naim Sgheib, Alex Nassar and Omar
Tayyara, sang in the theater donated
by Queen Elisabeth of England just a
week ago. They had a standing ovation
as they sang Highland Cathedral, a
song almost considered as the national
anthem of Scotland.
They also shared on skype the song
that was especially composed for
this festival -singing at the same time as
the Middle School boys choir in Jakarta.
The boys managed to find time to
visit the famous Dunnattor Castle,
enjoying the magnificent view from the
cliff to the sea.
