Winter at NIS

Before the winter break, we welcomed our families to campus for our Winter Picnic Under the Stars. It was a night filled with fun and laughter as families came together for a goodtime.

Our Elementary and Secondary choir, Secondary Handchimes band, and NIS Concert Band had their debut performances that night. Beyond the live entertainment by the students, there was also a market of jewelry, handmade items,giftbags,andfood.

During our Winter Extravaganza, our KG students performed their favorite winter songs in front of the NIS community. Parents were invited to witness the song and dance performancesthatourstudentspreparedinclass.

Last month, our teachers and staff showcased their creativity and turned NIS into a big winter wonderland. With these decorations, the last week of school before winter break became memorable and fun for everyone in the NIS community.
