Northern Marianas International School competed for the first time in the 13th Annual Christmas Tree Decorating Contest at Paseo de Marianas. Out of 14 schools that joined the competition, NMIS won second place and received $3,000 from Country House Restaurant. The design is based from the movie “Frozen” that made the tree extraordinary among other entries.

Christmas ornaments were made from used plastic spoons, forks, food containers, plastic, and empty plastic bottles. The main attraction of the tree is the Frozen character “Olaf” made from used plastic bottles.

Although a neophyte, NMIS also won third place in the Middle School Caroling Competition and went home with $500. They made a tambourine out of used caps from bottled drinks and joyfully sung Joy to the World and Feliz Navidad. Middle school students were accompanied and conducted by their mentor and musical director Katherine Barja.

NMIS also joined in the Float Competition in the elementary and middle school divisions. They also showcased their unique recycled costumes in the Fashion Show. The students who joined were Vladimir Radge Palma, Edgardo Severin Palma, Angel Lou Buensalido, and Euanne Kyra Claveria.

The overall coordinators of this event were Marge Sugaste, Ramy Salcedo, and Levi Sobremisana.

Jener Pineda, vice principal of NMIS, said that the success of their participation was realized through the unconditional love and support of the whole NMIS community: students, teachers, staff, administration, and of course the parents. (NMIS)
