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.
