These past few weeks, your children have been working hard on creating beautiful artwork that you can have turned into keepsakes to treasure for a lifetime. At this point, you should have received your child's original artwork along with an order form in your child's backpack. Today is the deadline to order, so please send your orders in right away!

A NOTE FROM OUR NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,
JAY SILVERSTEIN, PH.D.
I am proud and honored to be the new Executive Director at NIS. The contributions of the former Executive Director, Ms. Helen Wilder, and the staff, administration, families, and of course students in making NIS the special place it is have been nothing short of amazing. In only a few short weeks I have felt and experienced the sense of family, community, and commitment at NIS. I plan on working closely with staff, students, and families to continue in the tradition of NIS as an exceptional place for children to grow and learn, and to secure our future as a state of the art school of excellence. Please feel free to email, call, or stop by to say "hello."

This Month's Verbal Gem
A little boy and his speech therapist were looking at pictures of animals that live in the water and naming them; one was a tadpole. The boy was asked, "And what animal is this?" He answered, "A snake-fish!!" (Good Answer!)
