May 2019 NDS Notice
Happy May!
Due to the M.S. Band/Chorus Concert, AFTERSCHOOL will close at 5:30.
As the end of this school year is drawing close, we would like to extend an opportunity to all current students to attend our Student Academic Camp from Monday, June 3rd to Friday, June 7th from 8:00 am - 11:30 am. This camp is completely voluntary and will not be a required event. If your child should choose to attend this week, they will have the opportunity to meet the next year's teachers, spend time in each classroom learning about what next year will hold for them, and having fun with educational activities. Students who attend will be given a snack time and recess time but will not be offered a lunchtime. In order for our teachers to better prepare for the exciting week, we are asking for you to fill out the attached R.S.V.P. form.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Monday: High five a teacher/staff member & say "Thank you"
Tuesday: Give a teacher/staff member a hug to say "thank you"
Wednesday: Dress like a "teacher" day
Thursday: Write a teacher/staff member a "thank you" note
Friday: Draw a picture for a teacher/staff member
We have the BEST teachers and staff!
Walk-a-thon Event Information
We need volunteers to help set up during the day and to help work at the event on both days. Please let Mrs Hatfield (dhatfield@ndschool.org) or Mrs Grindstaff (dgrindstaff@ndschool.org) know if you are available to help.
Camping space will be available, first come first serve basis. You may drive up on the field to set up, and then park in the school parking lot.
Thank you in advance for your support of our school!
