Staff Social Club- Free McDonald’s Drink This Thursday

Hi Folks,

 

This Thursday you can pop over to McDonald’s at anytime during the day to get one free drink. You can choose anything you like (hot drinks, sodas, milkshakes, frappes). Just let them know you’re from NIS (they might get you to write your name down).

G6-10 Swim Meet Volunteers Feb 11-12th

Please sign up on SchoolsBuddy to help at the SSL Swim Round Three.

Volunteers are needed as runners, timekeepers or ribbon distributors. The jobs are as follows:

Runners: Lead the swimmers from the blue gym to the pool when it’s their turn.

Timekeepers: Use a stopwatch to record the swimmers’ times.

Ribbon distributors: Hand out ribbons to the winners of each heat.

Possible outcomes (choose only ONE!!!)

ethics – because you are starting and stopping the stopwatch on time and not cheating.

collaboration – working with the announcers to get the right swimmers to the pool at the right time.

commitment and perseverance – 3.5 hours is a long time, maybe you have to stand up the whole time or it’s hot or you struggle to talk to strangers (you will have to talk to the swimmers to ask them their names to make sure you have the right people.)

Shannon and Kasson would like to show you this tool. They will offer repeat 25-minute lunchtime sessions today and tomorrow (Thursday-Friday) at 12:30pm in D243. Please come along; all are welcome!
