The School Community

Here's something that we often see at school (and we really appreciate). In 8th grade, students are given a variety of opportunities to exercise responsibility. Sprinkled throughout the day and/or year, 8th grade students are a visible example to others in a variety of ways including morning announcements, maintaining our flags, or guiding K students at lunch to name a few. 

Case in point: Maxen and Cohen (above) are naturals when it comes to Learning Lunch.  (Learning Lunch? That's our gentle way of acclimating our youngest students to our school lunch routine. Kindergarten children spend a portion of their first year having lunch together, family style, before transitioning to the larger group of K-3 children.)

This Saturday, October 13 is the NHS Applesfest celebration. You will see 8th grade students on hand at Applefest to assist NHS members in setting up for the event and also run a refreshments table.  Applefest is this Saturday, 10am - 2pm. 

Another popular event coming later in the month is NPTO's fundraiser, NobleBOOro Spooktacular, Saturday, October 27, 5-8pm.  8th grade will be there too! 

If you are interested in other ways to help our school, Hannaford Helps Schools makes an annual donation. With a little effort from everyone, our school has sometimes been the recipient of the bonus check too. Here's how that works: 

Between 9/2/18 and 12/1/18, with the purchase of 4 participating Hannaford Helps Schools items, a customer will receive a printout for 3 school dollars at the register. The customer can place that printout into your school's slot in the Hannaford Helps Schools collection tower, located at the front of the store that your school is registered with. Additionally, Hannaford will donate $1,000 to each school that earns the most dollars from their store location!
