A pink, floral purse has been lost.  It contains a lunch card that is in a case that is identical to the purse.  It also contained a small touch screen LG phone.  If found please return to 6A (Room D215).

Solar Impulse

IMG_1885  On Sunday, April 26th a group of 20 students from NIS went to Lukou airport to view the Solar Impulse, a solar powered plane that is flying around the world. We met the pilots, viewed the plane and enjoyed the excitement of this inspirational venture.  You can view our photos here.

Athletics Day sign ups

It seems that there are a few students who are on the list of ‘not signed up’ students but have actually signed up. Please check the list that your homeroom teacher has and if you are one of these, please contact Ms Emily Johnson by email and let her know which events you have signed up for. She will then sort the problem.

Dress Code

Would you like to model this stylish attire (AKA: Mr. Tyochin’s old, gnarly gym clothes!)?*

FullSizeRender-1

If not, please follow this simple Dress Code:

-No visible underwear. It’s gross.

-No cleavage or chest hair. This is even grosser.

-All midriffs should be covered. Belly Dancing is not yet a course choice.

-Closed toed shoes please. Nurse Liliane is busy enough.

-No hats inside. Were you raised in a barn?

*If you violate the dress code, we will help you follow it by asking you to change into these clothes. The wrinkled shirt with the bloodstain to the first customer!

 

Thanks!
