December in Review: Celebration & Intention
December at Weaver Middle School was defined by a healthy balance of fun and focus. We believe that a strong brotherhood needs time to relax and celebrate, but also time to plan and prepare. This month, we did both—creating positive holiday memories while setting clear intentions for the year ahead.
Community: The Christmas Celebration
Holiday cheer filled the room as we hosted a festive celebration! Students enjoyed a variety of fun stations and engaging activities, ranging from hands-on games to creative challenges. It was a wonderful way to wrap up the year—giving Brothers a chance to disconnect from school stress, connect with one another, and create positive memories they will carry with them into the break.
Goal Setting: 2026 Vision Boards
Looking ahead with purpose, IYT Brothers participated in a 2026 Vision Board workshop before the Christmas break. The session moved beyond simple arts and crafts; it was a deep dive into intention building. Brothers reflected on their academic and personal goals, collaborating to bring their ideas to life visually. The workshop encouraged motivation and a positive mindset toward future success.
Brother of the Month
Brother Neymar
Brother Neymar is our Brother of the Month for his unwavering loyalty to the IYT program. He consistently shows up, stays engaged, and impressively balances his academic responsibilities with his involvement in sports. Neymar demonstrates that responsibility and discipline go hand-in-hand, making him a fantastic role model for his peers. Way to go, Neymar! Keep shining!
