Greetings, ISY Community,
Celebrating Our First ES Volleyball Game, SEASAC Travels, and Upcoming Math Competition
This week, our ISY community came together for exciting events, both at home and abroad! We’re thrilled to share the highlights and upcoming activities that showcase the spirit, teamwork, and talent of our students.
A Great Start to Our ES Volleyball Games Against ISM!
Our elementary students showed fantastic teamwork and enthusiasm in our first-ever friendly volleyball game against ISM, held at ISY on Wednesday. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with high energy, team spirit, and skill-building for our youngest players. The students were excited to get out on the court, and the camaraderie they showed, along with their growing volleyball skills, made it a memorable experience for everyone. We’re so proud of how they represented ISY!
SEASAC Teams on the Road!
This week also marks our first SEASAC trip of the year, with our volleyball and football teams competing in tournaments across the region. Games will continue through the weekend, and students are already making ISY proud with their dedication, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm. It’s a joy to see our students experiencing international travel, engaging in diverse cultural interactions, and gaining a broader global perspective. These trips create memories that go beyond sports, fostering friendships and building confidence, and we couldn’t be happier to support them.
Looking Forward to ISY’s Math Competition Next Weekend!
Next weekend, we are excited to welcome students from around the area for our highly anticipated Math Competition, hosted and run by ISY. This event provides a great opportunity for our students to test their problem-solving skills, collaborate with peers, and showcase their math talents in a friendly, competitive environment. We look forward to an exciting day filled with intellectual challenges and teamwork, and we invite everyone to cheer on our mathletes as they dive into the world of numbers and logic!
Please look below for this weeks game highlights!!
