AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT
SPRING MIXER
Hello, NBE student and families,
Mrs. Bleemel's third-grade and Mrs. Sanders' first grade classes are doing a service project to bring kids in our school together! We want to connect and have fun. As part of this project, we are hosting a Spring Mixer on Friday, March 13, 2020, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m in the gym. We would like to invite NBE students to stay after school on that Friday to join us in the gym for some music and dancing, board games, and a healthy snack of popcorn and water or lemonade!
In the coming week, an online sign-up form and letter will be sent to you via your child(ren)'s teacher(s). Please fill out the online form to show that you would like to attend our Spring Mixer. We will only be able to invite a certain amount of people because of limited space and number of chaperones.
After we have received all of the online sign-ups by the due date noted in the sign-up letter, we will randomly select those who can attend by allowing Mrs. Bleemel's and Mrs. Sanders' kids to draw names of students who are signed up online. Siblings will be automatically invited together if one sibling's name is drawn (if each sibling would like to attend and is an NBE student). Admittance will be by ticket only, and we will send you a ticket to confirm that you can attend the mixer. The ticket will include instructions for attending the event.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Mrs. Carrie Hower - First Grade Teacher
A Little about Me: I am lucky to be a first grade teacher here at New Britton. This is my 18th year of teaching. I started my teaching career over seas in Japan, on a military base. After three years, we moved back home to Indiana and settled in Fishers. I started in HSE at Cumberland Road and then found my way to New Britton. This has been my home base going on 14 years.
I'm married to Josh and we have two ornery kids, Emma (10) and Will (5). Emma is loving 5th grade at Riverside. Will is in Pre-K this year and will be a little bulldog at NBE next year in kindergarten.
What Brings Me Joy: I enjoy spending downtime with my family - riding bikes, watching movies, playing games. We have family scattered out west, so we tend to travel often. We love any trip to the mountains. We also equally love lazy days around the house - which doesn't seem to happen as often as we would like!
Favorite Food: I've never met a piece of pizza, a quesadilla or a dark chocolate bar that I didn't love!
Favorite place to visit: Besides being in the mountains, visiting my mom or dad is at the top of the list of favorite places to visit. It always feels like home when I get to spend quality time with them.
