bulletin, we are in the midst of hosting the MUN confer-

and house a visiting delegate for the conference. It is verymuch appreciated.

The General Assembly session will be on from 8:00 A.M.

tomorrow and is open for the ISM community to come in

and watch what happens. The GA will be held at the new

3rd floor Lofthouse.

was the start of our 2nd season matches for HS teams and

we had support school wide from students and parents to

cheer on the teams as they began the season. Thanks very

much to the Bearcat Den ladies who ran the BBQ/Drinks

stall at the HS field and a huge thanks to Shannon Grabow

and Amanda Pekin who promoted the event and helped

with all the activities to keep the younger kids and parents

entertained.
