NIPTA - NIST Parent Teacher Association

Battle of the Bands is BACK—and louder than ever 🎸🔥

After years in the shadows, the stage is calling again. Project Amplify is turning up the volume with a showdown for young rockers ready to prove they’ve got what it takes.

Every ticket and merch drop helps put real instruments into the hands of underprivileged schools. Winners get limited edition t-shirts and ultimate bragging rights!!

Because Silence is overrated ...

Great effort from all who participated in the fun interschool parents tennis tournament. Proud of the teamwork, energy, and great spirit shown throughout the competition.

Well done everyone and thank you for making it such a fun and memorable event! 💪🏆

Thank you NIPTA for your support.

Next tournament: September (tbc)

Please reach out to us if you would like to be part of the fun crew 🙂

Rice Donation Collection

We are launching a rice donation drive to support our community partner, Abundant Life Foundation, which cares for over 30 children who rely on consistent meals each day.

As food supplies may run low, the children often face uncertainty in something as basic as their next meal. The assessed current need is rice - by bringing in a bag(s) of rice, you can contribute to providing stability, security, and nourishment for the children.

Date: now - June 1st
Location: donation center, ground floor of CAB, spaces labeled with our poster

Open Donation for Our Cat Friends

Hello NIST community!

We are the service group C@tNIST and we would like YOU to help the cat community surrounding us!

Getting food monthly for the cats that surround NIST is often pricey, and hard to stay consistent with, so we wanted to reach out to receive any cat food or funding donations, since that would greatly help us out.

Thank you!

Make lunchtime a little happier and a lot smarter!

Let kids bring their favorite character cutlery set from home—fun, familiar, and easy to use. Skip the wooden sporks and their coatings, and choose something you trust.

Small habit, less waste, better for our planet. 🌱
