Hello NIS Students,

Curious about the plan for tomorrow’s 25 Anniversary Schedule?? Good!

Here’s all you need to do…

1. Wear as much NIS gear (shirts, hoodies, House shirts, etc) as possible. 
2. Primary students report to homerooms, as usual.
3. MS/US student report to assembly in the PAC as usual.
4. Get ready to spend the day off-timetime creating and collaborating with your fellow students as we celebrate 25 years of NIS.
5. Note: There will be cupcakes… Delicious cupcakes…

See you all then as we go down in NIS History!
