Happy Friday & Happy Sunday Valentine's Day to NCS families

A huge thank you to the NPTO for the delicious lunch they provided to the faculty and staff. Your kindness and support is so appreciated during this challenging time.

The 100th day of school was Thursday, February 11, 2021. Congratulations parents, students, teachers and staff for making this happen! Thanks to all of the board members for the lovely letter sent to the staff.

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to listen to the grade seven and eight presidential speeches. Several brought tears to my eyes and they all made me believe that our world will be in great hands when they are in charge! Please check out Kris Harriman’s report in the LCN.

AND THE WINNER IS … GRADE 6!  Congratulations to the winner of the door decorating contest. All of the doors are truly amazing. We have Valentine holiday doors, a Black History Month door, an outdoor fun door, spring flower doors, doors about books, about cats, about social studies, social media, filling your kindness bucket and more. So much creativity! This was such fun. Thanks to our amazing judges!

Kindergarten went snow-shoeing on Thursday. I loved seeing all the happy red faces on their return to the building.

Grades 7 and 8 are sledding and cross country skiing at the DRA today. Thanks, Mrs.York, and the 7th and 8th grade teachers for a very fun day. 

Wishing you an amazing February vacation with your children. If you are traveling, please let Nurse Kayla know. Please, please observe all the COVID guidelines. Remember, if you are leaving the state you need to quarantine, get a test etc. You will need to present a negative Covid test before you can return to school. We do recommend that when you are returning from a “hot zone” it is very helpful if you test, wait five days and test again before returning to school. If you have a positive test, please inform your primary care physician, our school nurse and me.

We ask that you please do your part to ensure that we can remain open for in-person learning until Friday, June 18th. Have a wonderful break! See you on Monday, February 22.

Ms. Sperry
