ISY Olympiad: A Celebration of Community and Spirit
This week, the ISY community came together for a special event—our annual Olympiad! It was a day filled with energy, teamwork, and friendly competition as our Chinthe Communities participated in a variety of physical challenges and games.
From the very first event, it was clear that this was more than just an athletic competition—it was a celebration of community, leadership, and school spirit. Students of all ages came together, cheering on their teams, encouraging one another, and demonstrating what it truly means to be part of ISY.
One of the most heartwarming moments of the day was seeing our older students step up as leaders, supporting and guiding the younger participants. Whether it was helping with a relay race, offering words of encouragement, or celebrating every effort, their leadership and kindness were on full display.
With laughter, teamwork, and plenty of smiles, the Olympiad was a reminder of the strength of our ISY community. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event such a success. We look forward to even more moments of unity and celebration in the future!

ISY vs. ISM: YAC Football Recap
Final Score:
ISY 4 – ISM 5
The ISY YAC football team faced off against ISM in a hard-fought match that saw plenty of drama. The team started slow, conceding two early goals, and it looked like they would have a tough time getting back into the game. However, in the second half, ISY showed great resilience and determination.
With only a minute left on the clock, ISY managed to equalize, much to the team’s credit. It seemed like the Chinthes were poised to steal the win, but in a dramatic finish, ISM struck back in the final seconds to secure the victory.
A special mention goes to Kai, who, despite being on the field for only a minute, scored a brilliant goal to bring ISY back into the match. His quick thinking and commitment to the game continue to impress. Throughout the match, the team showed tremendous effort and a never-give-up attitude.
Though the final score didn’t go in ISY’s favor, the game was a testament to the team’s fighting spirit and growing cohesion. Well done, Chinthes—keep up the great work!
