30th Reminders: TODAY and TOMORROW

Hello All,

Please see the reminders below as we countdown the final days until our 30th celebration. Action items in bold.

TODAY

30th Anniversary Hope Ribbons:  We will come around to collect these from Homerooms and Advisors today around 11am. These can also be brought to Weiwei. Thanks!

New House Shirts: Please reminder students to get their new shirt and wear tomorrow!

Flags and Placards: Primary Homeroom teachers and Secondary Advisors will find flags corresponding to their parade country, along with sticks for flag waving in their mailboxes. Placards with the name of each parade nation can be found in the old Admissions Suite across from the old Design Pit. Primary Homeroom teachers and Secondary Advisors, could you please send a student to pick these up today. Thanks!

FRIDAY

Morning Friday Assembly Practice: Tomorrow morning we will practice getting everyone into the Blue Gym and seated in their correct locations. The timings in which each Advisory and Homeroom departs their classroom is critical to our success. Please see these timing below and stick to them. Please bring placards, not flags to the practice.

Friday Anniversary Cupcakes: Our wonderful PTA has sponsored 30th Anniversary cupcakes for all students and staff. These will be briefly displayed in the Library Foyer on Friday morning, before being distributed to Primary Classrooms and Secondary Block Two classes. Cupcakes for staff will be available in the faculty lounge at Break.

Friday Afternoon Celebration Plan: A reminder that Homerooms/Advisories will march to the Blue Gym and sit in a predetermined order to enjoy a celebratory all-school assembly. They will then exit the Blue Gym in order and parade through the school with flags and music, exiting via the PAC and on to the pitch to create a large “30” for a school photo. We will then finish in a Circle of Peace before 3:00pm where Primary students will return to their Homerooms and Advisories are dismissed. Please see this plan for Friday afternoon specifics and note the lunchtime changes.

Many thanks for your support as we celebrate three decades of NIS. Please let us know what questions are out there!
