Enrichment Clusters (2nd through 5th)
Last month, Intermediate and Senior students identified enrichment topics that they are interested in. Students will be placed in an enrichment cluster based on their interest and learning style.
We sent a letter indicating the enrichment cluster your child will be in (stating the topic and teacher). If you have any questions, please reach out to me directly.
Last year, enrichment cluster projects were showcased at STEAM night (e.g. Terrapin Nesting Project for Intermediates, Hunger projects for Seniors). The goal is to have enrichment projects showcased again this year!
Grow It Green
Farmer Tina will be visiting the Intermediate classrooms this week for their January Grow It Green lesson.
This month's lesson will focus on where our food comes from. Students will investigate the country of origin for several foods. Students will be tasting a black bean and quinoa salad recipe.
January Information Session
On January 17th at 9:30am, parents interested in having their child attend NPS next year will have the opportunity to learn more about our school and programs, as well as take a brief tour. We will have students from the Student Council helping out!
If you know any families that would be interested, please let them know to contact the main office.
January Normandy Now
Rich Ferrone, the Morris School District's Manager of Safety and Operations, will be presenting at our January 23rd Normandy Now meeting (following the 6:30pm HSA meeting.) He will host an informational session reviewing district and building security for interested parents.
