“Sometimes I’m so tired, I look down at what I’m wearing, and if it’s comfortable enough to sleep in, I don’t even make it into my pajamas. I’m looking down, and I’m like, ‘T-shirt and stretchy pants? Yup, that’s fine. It’s pajama-y, good night.’  – Hugh Hefner
This friday January 16th is the Student Council Pajama Spirit Day, where you can happily wear whatever comfortable awesome pyjamas that you have; and also see some people’s same pyjamas they wear for years (cough cough Mr. McBride). How comfortable do you want to be?

Contact your house leaders and/or captains.

Friday Assembly: A New Era is Born…

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!
