It was a great day at Eastwood Knolls International School — full of energy, support, and community pride. We had an incredible turnout for the Athletic Banquet fundraiser, with more than 50 student‑athletes completing their physicals thanks to Dr. Nidia Nevarez from Empower MD. A special thanks to Coach Medrano who was there to answer sports questions to the EKIS community.

Your partnership and participation made this event a success. Thank you to everyone who showed up, and a special thank‑you to Dr. Nevarez for partnering with EKIS PTA to support our athletes.
