We hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving Feast  was a h uge hit with o ur NIS students.  Special thanks to Dawn Lee and the parents who volunteered to cook turkeys for the big day! We  have so much to be thankful for this year, as evidenced by the feathers on the turkey depicted below, each of which displayed things our NIS staff and children are personally thankful for this year. We at NIS are so grateful to share our days with so many wonderful children and their families.  
FUNDRAISING
The First NIS Craft Fair was a HUGE SUCCESS thanks to the overwhelming support we received from parent, student and staff volunteers!  We are grateful for the 40 vendors that drew in  hundreds of shoppers, and to all those who came out to support NIS!  Come to our next Parent Council meeting to help plan future fundraisers!

CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your overwhelming support with the Thanksgiving Basket drive this year.  Special thanks to Claire Salant, Jennifer Marmorato and Jenelle Gadagno from Brooks Brothers, and the NIS staff members and volunteers who put together Thanksgiving baskets for NIS families in need.  With your support and generosity, we were able to provide many families with a very Happy Thanksgiving! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
