Primary Athletics Day – This Friday

Our primary school Athletics Day is happening this Friday!

Come out and cheer on our athletes as they compete to earn points for their houses.

There are two events in particular that we’d love all the cheering and support we can get:

Speed Relay @ 12.30 to 13.00 (Grade 2 to 5’s fastest runners)

MEGA Relay @ 14.15 to 14.30 (One gigantic event featuring a mix of runners from grades 1 to 5, also including teachers and parents)

*Please note that the track and field will be out of bounds to ALL students during morning recess and lunch break on this day

Athletics Day – Grade 1 to 5 (This Friday!)

Dear Parents,

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Athletics Day event this Friday, April 12th, from 11am to 3pm at the NIS track and field. This event, focusing on Personal Excellence and a Growth Mindset, will showcase our students’ athletic abilities in running, jumping, and throwing.

We encourage parents and family members to join us in cheering on our young athletes. Please ensure that all participants come prepared with sports shoes, house shirt, a drink bottle, a hat, suncream and plenty of nutritious snacks.

We look forward to seeing you at the event and sharing this special day with all of you. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at leemayes@nanjing-school.com.

Best regards,

Mr. Lee
