NIS Sugar Challenge!

 

Dear NIS

We are three 5th graders working on a project for our PYPX. As a part of our action, we are going to run a Sugar Challenge. This challenge is to stop eating added sugar. The NIS Sugar Challenge will begin on April 15th, 2024. The specific rules of the challenge are as follows,

Students in grades 1-3: (With parent and teacher’s help) try not to eat extra sugar for 2 days.
Students in grades 4-12: Try not to eat extra sugar for 5 days.
Teachers: Try not to eat extra sugar for 5 days.

As a reward, you will get a sugar-free but sweet cookie.

If you’d like to join us, please sign up on the form. For kids in grades 1-3 we ask that teachers help them fill out the form.

Join us in the Sugar Challenge!

A reminder that our primary school Athletics Day is today!

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)

(We ask that all non-primary staff and student spectators please stay on the north side of the track)

Hope to see you out there!

*A reminder that the track and field will be out of bounds to ALL students during morning recess and lunch break

Secondary MAP Testing Begins!

It’s that special time of year once again!

Please find the Secondary MAP schedule here.

All testing will be held in the main building this time, so less walking and fewer stairs to climb!

All of Grades 9 & 10 will MAP in the Main LGR (between Mrs. Morrow and Mrs. Noh’s offices).

Grades 6-8 Study Groups A & B will also test in the Main LGR. Sections C will test in classrooms close to the LGR, so please check the schedule above for your daily locations.

MAP is an important chance to demonstrate your academic progress in Reading and Maths. This data is critical to your teachers, families, and you!

Please arrive with a charged laptop and charged brain ready to show what you know!

Please see Mr. Bratton with any questions!
