Hooray for Winter Break!

Dear NCS Family, 

I want to express my gratitude to all of you for the warm welcome I have received here in Nobleboro. I am extremely grateful to be a part of this amazing school. The students are kind and compassionate towards one another. There is a tremendous sense of community within the halls of our school. The students are proud of our school and it shows! I am also honored to be a part of the staff at NCS. They are world class educators with an unwavering determination to do what is best for students.     

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday break.    I look forward to learning and laughing with everyone as we continue to foster our future leaders.     

School will resume on January 2nd.

Thank you, NCS Community

The entire sixth grade says a huge “THANK YOU!!” for raising over $600.00 towards Heifer International!! This is a new record! We are helping many needy families around the world by buying ducks, chicks, honey bees, geese, and shares toward sheep, pigs, Alpaca,  goats, and more. Thank you, again, for helping us raise so much money!! You’re the best!

Any Spare Change Will Help!

The sixth grade is fundraising for Heifer International, an organization that supplies animals for poor and needy families around the world. Those animals change people's lives tremendously! Someone might go from being a beggar to never begging again in just one DAY! This is how much these animals can do for one family!!

The sixth grade is trying to raise as much money as possible before Christmas break. If you would like to make a donation, there will be cans spread out throughout the school. You can also send money with your child. A sixth grader will come to his/her classroom each morning to collect donations. Please make a donation. Any Spare Change will help.

Please Make a Donation Today!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! Sixth Grade

Hour of Code

Dear Parents:  We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works. 

That’s why our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (December 3-9). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code. Our Hour of Code is making a statement that Nobleboro Central School is ready to teach these foundational 21st-century skills. Visit the Hour of Code for more information on this global event.

The NPTO Book Fair and more(!) will be here in 2 weeks

Thanks (again!) to the NPTO, the NCS BOOK FAIR is coming soon: December 10-14. Dust off those book bucks and head to the fair for some great winter reads. The fair is open in the NCS library immediately before and after school (7:50-8:10am and 2:20-2:45pm).  The book fair is also open before and after the NCS Arts Festival/Winter Concert on Thursday, 12/13 (5:45pm and 7:30pm).

Did you catch that date? The NCS ARTS FESTIVAL a/k/a WINTER CONCERT is Thursday, December 13th. Students are preparing to delight their audience that evening with music and art performances. This special event begins at 6:15. Students will meet in their classrooms by 6pm (band meets in the music room). 

The NPTO Wish Tree in the lobby is adorned with classroom wish ornaments. If you'd like to give something to your child's class, consider taking an ornament from the tree. Each ornament has a name and classroom wish on it. Purchase the item and return it to school by 12/21! 

Or, if you're contemplating ways to care for the larger community during the season of giving, NCS will extend our collection of nonperishable items for the local ecumenical food pantry. In fact, NCS kindergarten and 8th grade students are teaming up to inspire students to collect donations within the classrooms. More on this to come. . . 

Recently seen at NCS: lots of smiles . . .

Eighth grade students and staff hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for the entire school and our guests.  Thank you to EVERYONE for making it a successful celebration. We especially appreciate our K-4 guests for taking time out at midday to join us at school. We'd also like to thank those who were able to donate desserts/beverages. Your contributions helped to round out a delicious meal.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
