SUMMERBRIDGE NEWS By Wings Ho and Carman Lee

On Monday, students and teachers

collected spirit for Scuba Kid to jump into the

sea to find treasure at Spirit Day.

Unfortunately, the Evil Fisherman said that

Scuba Kid couldn’t do it. Each student in their family had to make a flag and a cheer

during family time. Afterwards, all the families needed to do their own family cheer for

Scuba Kid before they headed down to the gym to collect enough spirits for Scuba Kid.

At the cheering station, families needed to think six cheers to ask the squid

masters to listen to. At the Evil Fisherman races station, families needed to use a spoon

to pass off a ping pong ball, and pass to the next student. At the human scavenger hunt

station, one member of each family had to run over to the opposite family and ask them

questions based on the questions from the paper. At the deep sea treasure hunt station,

students had to step onto map tiles in order to find a way to get to the treasure on a

map. At the deep sea cave exploration station, the family worked together to figure out

the pathway to reach the treasure. One student from the family had to lead the other

blindfolded students in the family from one side of the station to the other.

At the very end, each student in the family went up to put enough spirit on the

spirit meter. This gave Scuba Kid enough confidence to dive into the sea and find his

treasure.

Spirit Day was our first special event here at

CIS, and everyone did a fantastic job showing off

their SB spirit! By the looks of all of students and

staff, the event was very successful. I believe that

Spirit Day was the perfect day to get all of the new

and returning students excited about Summerbridge

and for them to work together in their families. The planning stages for the event went by so

quickly just because there was not a lot of time to prepare for it. Although we were short on

time, my department and I had a lot of help and support from the rest of the CIS staff! With

that being said, Spirit Day did not go as I had originally planned…. It exceeded my expectations

and much more! All of our hard work paid off and our efforts blossomed into the exciting event

that we had on Monday! I can’t wait to see all of our students continue to grow during and at

the end of the summer! Go Summerbridge! -- Kristin

Let’s see what out Spirit Day

Committee Head say!! =)
