A reminder that the Inaugural Poet Laureate meeting will be held today at lunchtime in D341.

Bring your lunch, creative ideas and, if you have them, examples of the poetry you’ve written in the past.

See you there!

This Friday, January 9th 2015, the NIS MYP/DP will usher in a new era in assembly planning and execution.

Our Mission: To avoid running over time.

Our Goal: Happy Block One teachers.

Our Dream: 60 minutes of uninterrupted learning each and every Friday AM.

The Plan:

Students-Please put your bags in your locker and report directly to the theatre. No homeroom required! Why not help your hardworking HR teacher but sitting together with your fellow “Homeroomies” to make attendance a breeze. Late? Check in with the nurse, put your bag in your locker, and get to the assembly! We believe in you.

Teachers-Please remember to bring your laptop to the theatre to take attendance. Your little angels will be sitting together eager to be counted.

Thanks for your flexibility, can-do attitude, and willingness to participate in this epic undertaking. If this works, we’ll do it again. If it doesn’t work, we’ll fix it. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll bin it. Risk takers unite!

Please note that the practices for this will now be on Wednesdays and Thursdays 3.15 – 4.15pm for the next 4 weeks. After this, the Wednesday session will change to Monday 4.20 – 5.30pm. This is to ensure that those participating in badminton and swimming can also do volleyball. Sign up on veracross and come to the first practice today (Wed).

There are still some spaces available in the CISSA Girls Badminton team for Grades 6 – 8. If we do not fill the spaces by this coming Friday we will open the remaining spaces up to the boys.

PTA is giving out Birthday Cupcakes Wednesday at Morning Break outside the Library to all January Birthdays.

Read something really great lately and wish you had a place to share it?

Bring your lunch and join us in Random Acts of Reading Thursdays at lunch in room C115 (the strategy zone).  Share what you’re reading that really excites you or maybe you’ll find inspiration from others.

Readers of all types, speakers of all languages,  and students in grade 6 and above are welcome!

“Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting.” -Edmund Burke

Practices start today (Tuesday). There are still places available for girls to sign up on veracross. No space left for boys.

Just a reminder that MYP students should complete their C&S record sheets and give to their homeroom teacher by this Friday. HR teachers should pass them on to me. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Girls on Monday and Thursday, boys on Wednesday and Friday, for Grades 7 & 8.

Don’t forget to sign up on Veracross

Did you come to Earth Hour last year? Would you like to be involved this year? Come to a meeting on Wednesday 7th January at 3:10 in C122. We need performers, activity leaders, helpers, presenters etc. If you can’t make it to the meeting, email me. Looking forwards to another great community event.

ASA cycle 2 continues from today (Mon Jan 5) for another 8 weeks.
