What Will Funding Do For Kids?

This video is a success story of a child who was “very lucky to have gotten into a program where she was able to access exactly what she needed.”
“1 in 88 children are now diagnosed on the autism spectrum. There are not nearly enough schools and services available. While many great organizations focus primarily on research, Night of Too Many Stars and NYCA raise funds to support autism schools, programs and services all over the country.”
Let’s help these amazing kids like Jodi DiPiazza find their potential. My favorite part is at 3:42…love that face!

ISB Student Poem for iPink iCan

It was One of Those Wonderful Women Wednesdays
by Alice Taylor (Grade 3SS)
It was one of those wonderful women Wednesdays
The room was filled with pink all different but beautiful
It was one of those wonderful women Wednesdays
We were happy for women all around the world
It was one of those wonderful women Wednesdays
We were hoping that scientist would find a cure for cancer
It was one of those wonderful women Wednesdays
We had been talking….
But stopped for a moment and thought ….​

iPink iCan 2012

I created this video for ISB students and staff regarding Women’s Health month.

October is all about the color pink, which represents educating, empowering and engaging those in our community on women’s health issues. ISB students, staff and community showed support for the women in our lives by participating in several events in October. Our fearless pink leaders, Tarek Razik and Rhonda Norris, didn’t paint the town red. Instead, they painted ISB in pink lights and banners for the month of October! The purpose being to start conversation and show support for women’s health initiatives.

Several of the events raised money and awareness for a great cause. All money raised (including profits from t-shirts, shoelaces and wristband sales) is donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Check out this reputable and outstanding foundation online at http://ww5.komen.org/AboutUs/AboutUs.html.

WellCo appreciates all women at ISB! Thank you for everything you do at our school! Hooray to all the wonder women who have been proactive and scheduled their annual health check-up
