Service - Saint Nicholas Day Update

I have been updated about the Saint Nicholas holiday event that is taking place on 6 December. I have been been informed that there is no more room for volunteers for the event. I was quite looking forward to this event as it is a well-celebrated day in the Dutch community.

Service - Saint Nicholas Day Notification

This week I have been informed by my Dutch teacher about an upcoming Dutch holiday we may volunteer to partake in. As volunteers, we’ll dress up and give candy to kids on Saint Nicholas Day. This event will happen sometime in December so the details aren’t clear. I will update as soon as more information gets out.

Action - Personal Fitness Program

During the beginning of the year, I tried out for football. However, as I had suspected, I injured my ankle. For this reason, I cannot participate in ISK Athletic and sports department; instead, I get my physical fitness from my Advanced Physical Education course. Even though this takes part during school hours, the course itself requires one to put together a comprehensive physical fitness plan used both inside and outside school. I currently partake in my weekly routines by utilizing my Adv. PE class hours within school. The fitness department gives us access to the appropriate machines which we use to attain our fitness goals. Furthermore, I also utilize the facilities I have at home daily. My home gives me access to: free weights, a sit-up bench, a treadmill, a stationary elliptical machine, and yoga mats. Thus, because I am unable to partake in various ISK coordinated sports, I still utilize both ISK’s and my own facilities to attain maximum action hours in the form of fitness.
