ISY Campus
The ISY Family Fun Fair is back! This event is organized by our Student Council and our Student Service Learning Groups.
As in the past, there will be lots of fun things to do including rides for the children and fun activities organized by our Student Service Learning Groups. There will also be a wide selection of food stalls and vendors who align with ISY’s strategic themes and commitment to environmental consciousness.
As you are having fun, you will learn all about our ISY students’ service learning initiatives and how you can help them be a force for positive change in the world. You will also be raising money for these initiatives so our students can continue their great work and our ISY community can continue to support our partner projects.

SPIRIT WEEK
Talking with your Child about Their Day
Parents often wonder how to get their child to tell them more about their day at school. They report getting shrugs or simple one word answers to their daily request for how their child’s day went. So what are some alternatives to our daily How was your day? question.
What was the funniest thing that happened today?
Tell me a highlight (or low point) in your day.
Tell me about your specialist class today.
Was anyone kind to you today? Were you kind to anyone today? Tell me about it.
Were you able to help someone today?
What made you smile today?
What did you fail at today?
What did you do during recess?
What are you grateful for today?
Were you able to try something new today?
What was the hardest part of today?
Who did you sit with at lunch and what did you talk about?
If you could have a re-do, what would you re-do in your day?
