Invitation to Students, Teachers, Parents, Staff, and Friends
RIS Foundation Day Assembly
Wednesday, 17 May 2006 – 7:10 a.m. by the RIS Flagpole

FORTY-NINE years ago the Redemptorists of Thailand formed the idea for an international school to meet the educational and catechetical needs of the children of expatriate and local Catholic parishioners. Ruamrudee International School arose from that idea. The first students sat in wooden classrooms separated by a movable chalkboard, housed in a parish sala over a pond behind Holy Redeemer Church. The official opening day was May 17, 1957, hereby designated RIS Foundation Day.

To begin the countdown to our 50th anniversary, we will gather for an all-school Foundation Day Assembly on Wednesday, May 17th. We will take a moment to pay tribute to our past, and celebrate the proud progress that we have made as a school and as a community.

Parents, alumni and friends are warmly invited to join the event. We will be giving out souvenirs at the assembly, and free ice-cream during milk break to commemorate the occasion – Happy Birthday, RIS!
