New Interdisciplinary School

This Thanksgiving, we're incredibly thankful for the grants issued to us by The Whelan Foundation and The Sunshine Foundation, which enabled us to purchase SmartBoards for our classes at one of our satellite locations at South Shore Children's Center in Islip Terrace. With these donations, we are happy to report we will now have SmartBoards in each of our classrooms in every location, providing equitable access to technology for all of our students. We couldn't be more thankful. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at NIS! #thankful #gratitude #SmartClassrooms #EquityinEducation #niskids

As we celebrate this season of gratitude, we hope your Thanksgiving is filled with love, laughter, and memories to cherish. Thank you for being part of our NIS family. #niskids #HappyThanksgiving #thanksfulgratefulblessed

Each year, NIS attempts to assist our families who may be in need by purchasing gifts and clothing for the December holidays. This year, we have a greater number of families in need of such assistance and are reaching out to the public for help. If you would like to donate a gift please click on the link below to sign up through our Sign Up Genius site. Thank you in advance for all of your generosity and kindness this holiday season! https://lnkd.in/e2NDSty5 #AdoptAFamily #HolidayMagic #helpingothers #niskids

#GivingTuesday is just a week away! At NIS, every child deserves the tools to dream big, learn joyfully, and grow confidently. Your support makes it possible for us to provide a STEM curriculum in an outdoor classroom, enrichment programs offered on weekends, a Super Swimmers therapeutic safety swim program, animal assisted intervention through our Pet Pals program, new playgrounds and therapeutic areas, SmartBoards in all of our classrooms, sports and peer modeling programs, respite for our families ... and more! Please consider donating to NIS this Giving Tuesday to nurture tomorrow's leaders. You can make one lump sum donation or choose to support us on a monthly basis. Be sure to ask your company if they have a matching gift program to make your gift go twice as far. Spread the word by asking your friends and family to help us reach our goal. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season! Thank you! www.givebutter.com/nis #givingtuesday #seasonofgiving #supportournonprofitpreschool #niskids
