Friday, September 28th Schedule

Hello All,

Please find the very-close-to-final draft schedule for our 25th Anniversary Celebration next Friday. The gist of the day is a completely collapsed schedule with a morning of creation, community, and cupcakes and an afternoon of presentation, celebration, and excitation. The only preparation students and staff need to do is to begin to plan out their NIS attire for the day (T-shirts available via Samantha!)

More details to come next Tuesday. It the meantime, let the excitement build as we prepare to be enshrined in NIS History!

Tech Challenge

Massive thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm and effort in the Tech Challenge. As you can see by the results above, it was an almost perfect afternoon for Xuanwu. Points were awarded: 3 points for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, 1 point for 3rd. In the case of a tie, both teams were awarded the first place points.

Congratulations, Xuanwu, Taiping, and Wutaishan.

Please pass on any feedback through your Advisory so we can make Tech Challenge even better next semester. (Advisors: please send us an email with any feedback: sonyaterborg@nanjing-school.com)
