Preschool children benefit from yoga in a variety of ways including body and breath awareness, strenghening, increased balance, relaxation and greater self-confidence. These are the poses the NIS students will be learning in yoga this month. Have your children practice doing these poses at home!

Save the Date! This year, #GivingTuesday is on 11/30! As many of you know, #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Join the #unselfie movement.  Donate to NIS  and then post an #unselfie on social media telling people why you gave to NIS and include the hashtag #givingtuesday. It's a fun way to give back! Remember: NIS is a nonprofit school that relies on donations to enhance the programs and services provided to its students and families.
