Today’s Incredible Music Assembly
Thank you to everyone who came to share in our music assemblies today. It was a joyful celebration of movement, music, culture, world languages, community and collaboration. Big thanks to our Music and World Languages Teams. Also, a big hand to all of the students for working so hard to make this celebration wonderful. Please see below for another upcoming music share.
Music Share
Thursday, May 29-Thursday, June 5, Music Classes – Music Rooms
The Music Share is an informal performance held during music classes the last weeks of school. Students are invited to independently prepare a short piece to perform for an audience. Acts vary greatly – we’ve had everything from magic shows to break dancing, comedians to concert pianists! The performance is voluntary and students who do not perform serve as audience for the event. Parents and teachers are both invited to attend the Music Share. See the schedule for this year’s Music Share here. Sign-up sheets are found here.

Students will be able to try Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass, taking about 15 mins. The session is not required; however, it will help make the school year start a lot smoother.

2. Choir Camp 2014
On Saturday, May 17th from 9am-12pm there will be a Choir Camp here in the CC Building, MS Choir Room (Room 140). All students in Grades 5-7 who are interested in singing in Middle School Choir next year are invited. This is a great opportunity for current and new choir members to meet one another, play games, SING and have fun together! I will also be listening to all singers and placing them in their choir classes for next year. If your child can attend, please sign them up on HERE before 3:00pm on Wednesday, May 14th. Signing up is just for my planning purposes so that I can ensure that each singer has a name-tag, folder and goodie bag. Thanks so much! I am looking forward to working with your children!

(Repeat) Cafeteria News…Did You Know…?
…That we make it a top priority to serve chicken at ISB which is FREE of both Antibiotics and Growth Hormones! Why is this so important for you and your family? Because long term exposure to antibiotics and hormones, whether taken directly or through another source, actually weaken our immune systems by reducing our bodies’ natural ability to fight infection and bacteria, thus leaving us much more prone to illness. Furthermore, sources which impact our own hormone balance, in this case with growth hormones in food, can have all sorts of negative side effects for our kids which appear in different ways. Rest assured knowing your children can enjoy all the healthy chicken items on our menus at school. This is great news considering these dishes are, hands down, some of the school wide favorites! Enjoy.
