Dear Students:

Do you like Art? Go see your fellow classmates’ creations at the MS Art Exhibit in the Fine Arts Theater Gallery. It begins
Thursday, May 7 at 3pm. The exhibit will be open for one week.

Please remember to follow the ISM Middle School uniform policy. Look sharp! Also, remember to be cautious with your
valuables. Or better yet, if you don’t need them at school, leave them at home!

Enjoy the week as you start to wrap up the year with exciting projects and activities.

Ms. Fredericks and Ms. Sayson

IASAS RESULTS:

Our 3rd season IASAS results were truly outstanding with all teams gaining a medal at the season ending tournaments. This is a fantastic
result for our school and one that has not happened for a number of years. All coaches and athletes should be extremely proud of their
efforts during this season to achieve so highly against the other IASAS schools.

During the recent IASAS Board meeting in Singapore high praise was forthcoming from other IASAS AD’s and HS Principals’ as to how
well ISM has done over the past two years and especially during this third season to medal in all tournaments. It was very pleasing to hear
the many positive comments about how ISM students represent themselves as athletes and people in their interactions at the events.

As this year’s IASAS and sports season draw to a close, I would like to thank all coaches and students that have participated in our pro-
gram this year. It has been a great year for ISM with a large number of medals across all seasons and a variety of sports. This does not
happen without the dedication of students and coaches to the program and I hope that our recent wave of success will continue and grow
further as we approach next year. I am excited about the new school year already and hosting IASAS Soccer first season will be a great
start to our year and an event for our school community to really get behind and support.

Well done to all BEARCATS for your 08-09 efforts!
