25th Anniversary Information

Hello 25’ers,

Please find the very close to final schedule, class pairings, top tips, and a sample of the four elements each group will be responsible for on Friday in preparation for the 25th celebration. The idea is that each combined group will have one year from NIS History to celebrate. Because each combined group is around 25 students (PS HR + MS/US ADV), they will divide into four “committees”  to complete four distinct tasks related to that year with us as teachers providing support.

After about two hours of preparation on the day (with celebratory cupcakes and Break to, well, break things up), each combined group will present in the Gym at 1:30pm before moving through the rest of the afternoon’s events. Note: The attached instructions are a sample. Each combined group will have its own year, photo, and theme. Each committee’s tasks, however, are generally the same.

Please see Kasson, Katie, Ruth, Adam, Paul U., and/or Laurie with questions. If you notice any errors or omissions please let Kasson know ASAP!

Thanks in advance for your efforts, school spirit, and joie de vivre!

Ps. Don’t forget to encourage students to wear their NIS gear on the day. Top-Tip: Have students bring in their NIS attire throughout the week so they are not left out on the day! This goes for us too! 

Code Blue TODAY at 9:55am

A reminder that we will have a Code Blue Lockdown Drill today at 9:55am. The procedure was communicated on a (orange) handout last week. Please prepare our students as needed.
