Nutritional Lunches
We encourage families to pack the healthiest lunches and snacks for their children. We strongly discourage energy drinks or soft drinks at the school and hope that families will choose drinks that are not high in sugar or caffeine. Our School Advisory Committee will be considering some guidelines for school lunches and hope that families will provide some input for our discussions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This school year we will not be able to have any type of nuts or peanuts at our school. We have some children attending our school that are extremely allergic. Even the powder and oils of nuts or peanuts could be detrimental to their health. Please be cautious in packing your child's lunch and do not send any snacks or food that contains peanuts or tree nuts. |

IB WORLD SCHOOL
==================================
The Learner Profile for the Month of September is:
Knowledgeable
Knowledgeable students develop and use conceptual understandings, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. Students engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.
Activities for parents
- Encourage your child to read books at home that correspond to the topics being covered in school.
- Ask your child about what they are learning in school and engage them in conversations about it:
"Why do you think that is an important thing to know about?"
"Can you think of anything happening in the world today that might be similar to that aspect of History?"
- Encourage your child to become familiar with current events and to read the newspaper and watch the news when appropriate.

CIS Youth-Aid Brigade - Kids helping kids for a cause.
Community & Service is incorporated into the CIS MYP curriculum to encourage students to think of themselves as thoughtful members of their local community and the world at large. Working within six Global Context areas:
- Identities & Relationships
- Orientation in Space & Time
- Fairness & Development
- Personal & Cultural Expression
- Globalization & Sustainability
- Scientific & Technical Innovation
what starts in the classroom extends beyond as students contribute to causes that support other young people in their community. We are our way to an active and productive year!
Trash for Cash / Reuse to Amuse - Demonstrating Personal & Cultural Expression
Students will create works of art (cardboard murals, can robots, yard decorations, and chimes) using recycled objects. Art will be displayed auctioned during craft venues & various school functions. (Please help us with this project-- see donation list!)
World Food Day (Oct 16) - In supporting Globalization & Sustainability
CIS students will mobilize their families and friends by hosting a World Food Day meal within the school to promote the GROW method - 5 very simple actions we can take to have a positive impact on creating a better food system: save food, eat seasonally and locally, eat less meat and dairy, support small farmers, and cook smart. http://
Scientific & Technical Innovations
GeoCaching - Operation Around the World - Investigating Orientation in Space & Time and manipulating
Students will locate objects hidden around the city using GPS receivers (cell phones). Each class will create and hide caches. Through the use of tracking devises, students will follow their items around the world. This geography-based approach to problem-solving is an engaging way to evaluate students' understanding of longitude and latitude, global navigation, and the Global Positioning System, while at
the same time giving them the opportunity to communicate with those in others about the specific needs.
Health is the New Wealth - Pertaining to the context of Identities & Relationships
Students will work together to assemble health-related demonstrations and displays during a school-wide health fair. Part of this unit will require them to assemble fun packets for the Presbyterian Children's Center and Ronald McDonald House.
Charities we are supporting this year include: Casa Esperanza, Ronald McDonald House, Presbyterian Children's Center, S.A.F.E House, Store House West, CLN Kids, La Puerta De Los Ninos, Make-A-Wish New Mexico, Children's Grief Center of New Mexico, Special Olympics New Mexico, and the Barrett
