Dear all,

I hope to see you all tomorrow at our annual Sports-a-thon to raise money for the United World Schools project. This is a wonderful opportunity to support the project and have some family fun.

The holiday season is upon us here at ISY and next week we have many festive celebrations happening. The big event is our annual Winter Concert, we hope to see you all there.

Don’t forget to bring the items for the December Christmas Baskets. The collection is extended to December the 11th.

LOST & FOUND

Please check the lost and found, all items still left before the winter break will be donated to a worthy cause.

SMART WATCHES

The use of smart watches by students at school is very distracting in the classroom. These types of watches along with mobile phones should be kept in school bags. Please also note that we cannot be held responsibility for any lost items should  you choose to have your child bring such a device to school.

WINTER CONCERT

The concert will be on the 11th of December. This year’s theme will be Myanmar poems set to music and performed by Grades 1-5. The children need to be at school for 5:30 pm.

Dress:

OPTION

This year’s concert theme is Myanmar Poems.  In line with that theme we are giving students the option to  wear traditional Myanmar dress. This may be of any color or ethic group.

A few thoughts:

Tying the baso for boys can sometimes be difficult.  There are solutions. Sometimes the tie will be sown together and elastic is used to hold the baso in place.  Sometimes safety pins or a belt help.
It is suggested under the baso to have shorts on in case it unties.
If only part of the traditional dress works for your child, you can pair it with option 2 suggestions.
Shoes: Formal shoes with minimal heel.

OPTION

Students are asked to wear solid white and black with minimal designs on the clothing.  Clothes should help the student to look their best. As stated at the beginning of school, ISY concert dress is: plain white on the top and plain black on the bottom.

Boys:
No shorts
Collared white shirt preferred
Ties are okay if dark colors

Girls:
No shorts
Dresses and skirts are okay if they are solid colors with white on the top and black on the bottom.
No short skirts
Pants are okay
Shoes: Formal shoes with minimal heel.

Thanks,   Ms. Bekka
