Week 32

GYFT

Starting on Monday the 13th, the Athletics and Activities office is challenging families to participate in a game that you can do from your home.  Called the GYFT (Get Your Family Together) Challenge, there are 15 different activities that you can earn points doing.  Most are mainly offline and intended for you to spend intentional time together.  If you're interested, read about the GYFT Challenge here.  We'll run it from Monday morning through Sunday night - the 13th through the 19th.  Complete this form with your team or family name and be sure to make a copy of this sheet or write down the points that will be earned for each activity.  If you want to share your progress on social media, just use the hashtags #GYFTchallenge and #AISCwellbeing.

Below are the activities.

Student Activities

Just like the rest of the school year, students value activities that are not directly associated with their classwork.  During the lockdown this has just become more difficult.  But some groups are finding ways.  

Model United Nations had planned to do a Chennai conference this spring to make up for the trips that were cancelled.  With a normal return to campus unlikely, the leaders of MUN tried conducting a committee through video conference.  While not ideal, the students are embracing the opportunity to try something new.
