The themes are as follows: Monday Twin Day; Tuesday Ambition Day; Wednesday Black and White Day; Thursday All Star Day; Friday Super Hero Day. While we do want you to enjoy the dress up days, please choose your outfits carefully and dress appropriately (no bare midriffs, spaghetti straps, baggy pants, etc.). Please also remember that any weapon or copy thereof should not be brought to school when dressed in theme. Sports Day is Friday, December 9.

December 08, Thursday - All Star Day - Dress up as your favorite sports player or all star athlete. December 09, Friday - Sports Day - House shirts only.

Hope you will show your school spirit by dressing in the theme of the day.

Middle School Poetry Jam


The 2nd Annual Middle School Media Center Poetry Jam will be held on Tuesday, December 13 from 3:00 - 4:00 P.M. All students, parents and faculty are welcome to attend and listen to poems being read aloud in the library. Everyone is welcome to read a poem aloud. See you in the MSMC on December 13!

Salinlahi Cover Competition


Each year the yearbook cover is decided through a competition for the front and back cover design. This year the theme is Friendship and Cooperation. The design in the past few years has been based on drawings, but we are aiming for a photo or photographic collection this time. For all the details students can visit the Middle School Media Center blog and all Home Base teachers will receive a flyer to display on their classroom notice board.

FROM THE ATHLETICS & ACTIVITIES OFFICE


HS Practices during ICARE Week: As has been a practice in past years, only varsity practices will be held during ICARE week if there are enough team members completing ICARE at local Manila sites. Varsity coaches have been checking with their players this week and advising if practices will be on next week. Please check with your coaches. There will not be any practices for JV teams during HS ICARE week. Bearcats Basketball: Last weekend, our HS girls basketball team played at Brent in their invitational tournament and they kept their winning run intact so far this season going undefeated and winning the final vs. Brent 43-40. Well done to all players and coaches! Today at ISM we host Faith basketball teams for the first time this season. The matches against Faith are always tight entertaining games of a high standard. JV games will start from 4:00 P.M. at HS gym and the Varsity games will start with the girls match at 4:00 P.M. followed by the boys in the MS Gym.

The Bearcats Rugby 10s tournament games was played on Thursday, December 01 and Friday, December 02 afterschool and all day on Saturday, December 03. It is going to be a great event for the development of our rugby program at ISM. We hope that that the ISM community can come out and support our JV and Varsity teams as they battle against Dulwich College Shanghai and Beijing and Canadian Academy Kobe, Japan. IASAS RUGBY/TOUCH HOUSING: The next fantastic ISM Special event is on the horizon. We host rugby/touch on February 1 to 5, 2012 and 140 athletes require housing for this event. All rugby and touch athletes have been given a housing letter last week at practice and I would also make a request for all athletes that were housed in Singapore recently that we need your support to reciprocate the hospitality given to you by housing for IASAS Rugby/Touch. The housing letter can be accessed via the ATAC blog or there is a link to it on the IASAS Rugby/Touch page. Housing letters are due in by December 12.
