Athletics & Activities Blog – February 21

Sports Are Back Along with Some New ASAs

As we enter the last week of February it’s nice to share the news that ISY will once again be able to start hosting HS basketball and MS soccer games against some other schools from around Yangon.  Schedules will be updated as they become available, but at this time we are planning to host the YAC HS Basketball Championships on Thursday evening, February 27 from 4-7pm.

In addition, the Activities Department is excited to announce the addition of many new ASAs for session 3:

  • ES/MS Zumba
  • Creative Dance
  • Myanmar Cultural Arts & Crafts
  • ES/MS Mindfulness
  • ES Volleyball on Saturdays
  • Knitting
  • American Flag Football

These are just a few of the nearly 100 ASAs on offer for Session 3.

Elementary School Fun Day

This year’s ES Field Day has been moved to Friday, March 6th.  The entire event will take place in the gym so we are going to change the name to ES Fun Day!

Here is the schedule for this year:
Pre-K – Grade 1
8am-10am
Group Photo followed by Fun Day stations
Pre-K & KG will have their lunches in classrooms following the events.
Grade 1 will have lunch as per usual.
11am-12pm – ES Lunch

Grade 2-5 Fun Day
12-2:30pm
Group Photo followed by Fun Day stations
HOMEROOM COLOR or THEME
In lieu of t-shirts, each homeroom will come up with a color or theme. We encourage each class to dress up, decorate, make signs, etc. Just make sure your child is dressed comfortably and can plan to run around for a couple of hours.

VOLUNTEERS:
We are looking for volunteers to help with stations, so please let your child’s teacher know if you would like to help with this year’s event.

 

Session 3 HS/MS ASA Update

This week marks the final week of Session 2 After School Activities (ASAs). Session 3 will begin on Monday, March 9.  Please note that many ASAs end this week and will begin again in March, but several HS/MS Service Learning ASAs will continue without interruption. In addition, if your child is involved in a yearlong ASA, they will be re-enrolled automatically. 
 
This year we would like every secondary student in grade levels 6 – 10 to complete at least one Service Learning ASA. If your daughter / son has not yet fulfilled this expectation, please ensure that they sign-up for at least one of the SL ASAs that are on offer during Session 3. This is a great opportunity for ISY students to live the school’s mission and vision by choosing from a variety of ways to make a positive impact in the community, locally, nationally, and / or globally.
 
In addition:
  • MS/HS Swim Team will continue with it’s regular practice schedule throughout the ASA break, but the Swimming ASA will not.
  • Saturday Power Soccer will continue February 22, 29, and March 7 because we had to cancel several Saturday practices this session.  
  • MS Soccer & HS Basketball/Badminton practices will continue as scheduled.
  • MS Badminton will begin at the end of March.  Registration will be shared with students in the next couple of weeks.
If you have questions regarding the upcoming session of ASAs, please email Lisa Isom at lisom@isyedu.org. For questions regarding Service Learning opportunities, please contact Todd Davis at todavis@isyedu.org.
