December 6, 2018


Dear Parents,

The holiday spirit is in the air. Please join us this evening at the secondary school winter concert and PA's Holiday Bazaar. The concert will run from 5:30 PM-7:00 PM and the bazaar will run from 4:00 PM to 9:00PM. Please join us for the festivities.

We look forward to seeing you at the Sports-a-thon on Saturday 8th December from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Students and teachers will be setting themselves challenges like running around the sports field 10 times, or doing 500 jump ropes and asking for sponsorship money to complete the task. All the money raised will go to the United World Schools Project. Even if you're not taking part in a challenge feel free to come along and cheer on the events. Donations can be made on the day or at any other day at the cashier's office or through our online payment system."

As we approach the December break it may be that you are kindly thinking of recognizing a member of staff with a gift. We would like to remind you that at ISY we encourage gifts of no more than $50 USD. This year you might consider a donation to the United World Schools Project in the name of a member of staff.

International Day - the Parent Association's (PA) biggest event of the year - is fast approaching. This school-wide festival, which will be held on February 16, is run entirely by PA and school volunteers and is designed to build the ISY community and enhance understanding of the diverse nationalities that comprise the student body.
The PA is asking for one volunteer from each country to coordinate the country's booth and gift basket (for which there will be a raffle this year). The booths can feature food, games, arts, and crafts or anything else you like that spotlight your country's culture.
Note: as an educational event, International Day is not intended to require significant spending by parents, and you are free to sell food to recoup your costs. The PA board will provide booth coordinators with contact information for other parents from your country to help with organization.
Interested? Please email PABoard@isyedu.org
