Have you heard a lot of chatter about Creative New Undertakings in Grade 4 this year? Have you wondered what this is all about? Do you want to know more? On Friday, February 17th the Grade 4 students are going to present their progress and thinking about their Creative New Undertakings project to the entire school community. Please join us in the foyer in front of the library from 9:20-10:40 to discover more about exciting student-driven inquiry projects. You will see authors, designers, bakers, woodworkers, filmmakers, cartoonists, builders, interior designers, inventors, problem solvers, and thinkers. We hope you all can make it to this special event.
Good morning,
The ACAMIS Conference is now less than a month away! We are looking for a couple of teachers who would like to help out on one or both days. These teachers, of course, would be welcome to attend sessions.
Please send me your expression of interest by the end of the day today.
Thank you,
Arden
The photographer will be taking individual photos (mugshots) for those students and staff members who missed the September photo day. Please check the list of names for students needing photos. (Students: If your name is not on the list and you know that you did not have a photo taken in September, you need to get one taken, as well.) These students need to have mugshots taken-17qa9oo
There have been a few changes to the original schedule due to field trips. Teachers, TAs and ELL teachers are in the homeroom photos. MYP/DP teachers are not in the group photos and do not need to accompany the students. Photos will be taken in the PAC foyer.Updated Schedule for Yearbook Homeroom Group Photos&Individual Mugshots copy-11zo2zj

A reminder that James will be in school on Wednesday afternoons in the Centre Foyer selling his organic “happy” veg.
James runs a local permaculture farm south of the city and is keen to develop his relationship with NIS.
Paul Johnson knows more about his programme so do ask him if you are interested in finding out more.
Support James and buy his delicious locally produced assorted, seasonal veg.
