Dear all,
We had an assembly today. See below for our Pride of the Principal (POP) awardees for this assembly.
Four Square is a popular activity during break times. In Physical Education, the students have learned about the game’s rules and sportsmanship.
A special welcome to our new teacher, Ms. Itzel; it is great to have her wealth of experience with us at ISY.
As a reminder, please note that the campus is unsupervised before 8:00 a.m. Elementary School students also need to be supervised on campus after school hours.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Ms. Sheppard

The Importance of Healthy Snacks for Mental Health
Most of us know healthy snacks support our children’s physical health but did you know that it also supports their mental health? Foods rich with vitamins and minerals help with proper brain function, fewer mood swings and improved ability to focus. Some things to think about while choosing your child’s next snack are:
- Good mental health is linked to a healthy diet
- A healthy diet provides energy needed to cope with stress.
- Protein-rich foods, meat or plant based, can improve mood and reduce anxiety
- Studies have shown that eating high-fiber carbohydrates can help reduce depression
- Proper brain function and mental well-being require nutritious meals that include appropriate fats.
- Children need healthy snacks modeled to them. When packing their snacks, minimize candies and cookies and maximize fruits & vegetables.
