IB DIPLOMA BREAKFAST CLASS OF 2022

Every December, IB holds the annual Diploma breakfast, where seniors from the previous year get the chance to revisit the school and receive their IB diplomas.
The event was full of joy and nostalgia, as alumni gathered together in old classrooms to relive some of their dearest memories as IB students.
Following the diploma ceremony, the IBIS foundation provided all attendees with a delicious breakfast to celebrate!
Congratulations class of 2022! Remember, you'll always be able to look back and relive the great times you've had at Reef's IB Academy. We wish you the best!

Give Miami Day 2022
Nov/17/2022
November 17th was Give Miami day, which is one of the largest donation events in the country. The purpose of the day is to make a philanthropic impact by supporting your community’s nonprofits.
One of the amazing nonprofits that our Coral Reef community chose to support is our own IBIS Foundation. The day was a great success for the foundation and our IB Cudas!
The money will be used to fund our IB events, such as IB Gala and the IB Battle of the Classes. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!
As of now, we have collected upwards of $4000 dollars, pending a final recount in December.
IB GALA CLASS OF 2022
May/20/2022
After two long years without an IB Gala and some setbacks, it was incredible to finally bounce back and be able to give the class of 2022 a proper sendoff to their bright, bright futures. The night was incredible, full of camaraderie and companionship for one of the last times among the IB Senior Class, truly not a memory to be forgotten anytime soon.
Additionally, this night was taken to present IB awards, superlatives, and scholarships to those outstanding IB students who worked hard for the past four years. The IB Senior Gala rocked, and we hope to repeat this same outstanding turnout for the Class of 2023.
2022 TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
May/2-6/2022
Recently, the IBIS Foundation took part in Teacher Appreciation Week for the 2021-2022 school year, which was a rousing success!
Firstly, we would like to thank the IB Families for all the donations, the volunteers for taking the time out of their days to support our teachers, and lastly of course, the teachers for their hard work all year long.
For the first four days, each class sponsored a set of gifts for all our IB the teachers, culminating on the fifth day with a delicious breakfast for all teachers.
It could not have gone better, and it is thanks to all of your support. Let’s hope to make next year’s teacher appreciation week even better!
VALENTINE'S DAY FUNDRAISING EVENT
February/9-11-14/2022
Love was in the air at Coral Reef IB during our IBIS Valentine’s Day Fundraiser!
Students took the opportunity to show their appreciation for that special person in their lives with a sweet token of appreciation.
Thanks to all who supported! We cannot stress this enough; IBIS would not run without your support!
IB ARTICULATION NIGHT 2022
February/10/2022
On February 10th, IB Articulation Night was held at Reef. This meeting is very important, especially for the parents and students of 9th and 10th graders, as it communicates lots of important and detailed information about the IB Program, what to expect, and how to prepare themselves for the demands of the next four years of the IB Diploma Program.
Alongside this meeting was the IBIS General Meeting, wherein parents can really come to understand the importance of joining the IBIS Foundation.
For those who could not attend the IB Articulation night, you can find the presentation on our website: www.ibisfoundation.org.
IB DIPLOMA BREAKFAST
December/16/2022
This past December, our most recently graduated IB Class of 2021 returned to the Reef to finally receive their well-deserved IB Diplomas.
Unlike last year’s drive through, this year’s diploma breakfast was held indoors, in the auditorium with limited seating. Our IB Graduates finally received their diplomas, reflective of their academic and personal effort.
Congratulations Class of 2021! We wish you the very best in your future endeavors!
2021 GIVE MIAMI DAY FUNDRAISING
On Thursday November 18, the IBIS Foundation participated for first time in the Give Miami Day fundraising event. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude for our parents and friends donations. YOU have made a difference! Because of you we exceeded our goal of $5,000. *
Your generous donation will benefit our IB Students directly. It has been a truly gratifying experience to witness the generosity and support of the IBIS Foundation and its mission to the IB Academy. We appreciate you and thank you for your support!
* We will receive final results from Give Miami Day by the end of December, which we will announce at that time.
IB Junior Pinning Class of 2023
On Saturday Nov 13, 2021 Coral Reef HS held its annual Junior Pinning Ceremony. A yearly affair, this rite of passage is performed so that IB Juniors are formally inducted into the IB Program, as IB is technically considered to be a two-year course.
Typically, the pinning ceremony entails an IB Senior pinning an IB Junior with a special pin, as a way to show the IB Junior officially being in IB. Under normal circumstances, this ceremony would take place in a closed auditorium, but due to COVID-19 precautions, this year’s pinning ceremony was a drive through, as parents pinned their IB Juniors as they completed a circuit throughout the Coral Reef parking lot and drop off circuit.
A resounding success, students also received several IB goodies to commemorate their induction into IB. We would like to give a very big thank you to all the volunteer parents, teachers, and faculty that made it possible for the pinning ceremony to be conducted during these unique circumstances. Thank you for all your support!
