Dear Parents,

We are all waiting to see what is in the room above tonight.

Tonight is the Parent Association Halloween event from 5-7 PM. Big thanks to our wonderful Parent Association events committee for organizing such a wonderful, fun event. They put a lot of hard work into this event, including making a wonderful haunted house for the students. It is also wonderful to have the Secondary students involved this year, thanks to the committee.

Please remember that a parent must accompany your children to tonight’s event. You will need your ID card to enter the school grounds. The event is only for the ISY community. Home helpers can only enter with a parent. The event is from 5 PM to 7 PM.

International Day Cultural Show

During International Day there will be a cultural show in the evening. The Cultural Show is a chance to celebrate ISY’s student diversity and provide an opportunity for students to share dances, songs, or other acts connected to their culture. A form to sign up an act for the cultural show is here. Each performance should be no more than three minutes in length and should ideally involve more than one student.

Sportsmanship at ISY

There is much for a child to learn from competition.  Competition helps a child develop many values such as respect, discipline, time management and teamwork.  Whether competing in a structured activity or free time on the playground the values of positive sportsmanship are important when engaging in competition.  Recently, in Life Skills, we have been reviewing and practicing the key components of sportsmanship at ISY.  These include:

Play Fair and Respect the Rules.  A competitor wants to win because they played their best and followed the rules.  Children understand that sports and games are more fun for everyone when all participants play honestly and don’t sacrifice the rules to win at all costs.

Be Polite and Kind.  Encouraging teammates and opponents builds community.  After a game, shake hands and compliment the other players for their efforts.  Identify the strengths of others and their contributions to the game.  

Encourage Everyone: Allow everyone opportunities to participate.  Celebrate each child’s unique skill sets and strengths.  Include all levels of skill and development.

Play for Enjoyment: Yes, winning is fun but competing only for awards or titles limits the game.  Recess is about having fun and building skills.  

Be Mindful of Your Emotions:  Competition evokes strong emotions.  Being mindful of our emotional reactions is important to keep the game positive and helps us build resilience.
