"Passion First"

Fun Run Finishes Strong
NF's annual Fun Run, hosted by our PTA in cooperation with Boosterthon, was held yesterday outdoors. This is the fourth year of the Fun Run program, although it did take a different format during the peak of the pandemic, (Dance-A-Thon). All week the children were encouraged to gather pledges, view and discuss character trait videos, create a classroom flag, enjoy small prizes, and build a trusting "Fun Run" family within their classroom.
At the October PTA meeting, the final pledged amount should be known. One of the goals of the PTA is to consider an outdoor learning pavilion for our children. As good stewards of community money, however, we will not move forward in any additional planning until the results of the levy are known.
The majority of pictures in this edition come directly from Friday's Fun Run experience.
PAX LEADERS OF THE MONTH (SEPTEMBER, 2022)
Fall Festival Celebration Scheduled
The NF school community will enjoy our fall festival activities on Friday, October 28 in the late afternoon. Our fall festival does include the option of students wearing costumes. Any costumes worn should be void of depictions of violence, extreme scary features, play weapons, and masks. Students can save those accessories for Halloween on Monday, October 31st. Please also note that students will be given a small treat in the afternoon. It will be either a Rice Crispy treat or Goldfish crackers. For any children who have allergies, and cannot eat the provided snack, please consider bringing in an alternative.
Squire Supporter of the Month
Each month, NF faculty/staff nominate a "Squire Supporter of the Month." The recipient is a specific parent/family who has gone 'above and beyond' in assisting our school community. In year's past, NF has celebrated PTA parents, families who have made specific donations, Moms who have helped provide treats for the staff, Dads who have helped fix items around the school grounds, etc. For the first time ever, NF recognizes a teacher-Mom. Congratulations this month to Ms. Nichole Notarian for her outstanding service as both a second grade teacher and a parent of two wonderful boys, (one at NF, one a NF grad). Ms. Notarian shows compassion, works tirelessly in making her classroom a community of supportive learners, and is a contributing member to the community as a Nordonia resident herself. Congratulations, Nichole!
