Bobcat Broadcast
June 10, 2022
A Message from Mrs. Caudill
Some things can only be defined by one word - perfect. That is the only way to describe the Bobcat Bash on Friday night. After a two year hiatus it was a night to remember! This event could not have been possible without the herculean efforts of all the parents that volunteered and the PTA committee headed by Leslie Warnke. I went home Friday night with my leg so swollen I could barely walk. But, it was worth it. I smiled the whole way home. Thank you to everyone who made it such a memorable experience.
Stay Well,
Devon Caudill

On Your Mark…Get Set…THANK YOU!
THANK YOU LEADERSHIP FIELD DAY VOLUNTEERS
Our Bobcats had a wonderful time on Thursday at this year’s Field Day. While students took the lead at each event, we could not have done it without our parent and grandparent volunteers. Thank you for your flexibility and patience. Thank you for your coaching, set-up/clean-up and encouraging support. We hope you had as much fun as our students did. From relays to races, chalk & wash to rock painting, dance parties to Capture the Flag and nearly 2000 water balloons filled, we could not have done it without you! See pictures of our kids having the time of their lives at the bottom of the Broadcast!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

Covid Information and Updates
NPS COVID RESPONSE REMINDER
Updated 5/14/2022
COVID-19 cases increased across the state and in our community over the past few weeks placing our county and many counties across the state in a “HIGH” community risk category. The CDC and MDHHS recommend that individuals wear masks indoors and on public transportation. At all levels, the CDC recommends people get vaccinated and boosted, and get tested if they have symptoms, and suggests that anyone wanting to wear a mask should do so.
This is a reminder to our students, staff and families to be mindful of the current community level and plan accordingly for the needs of yourself and family members. Under the CDC and MDHHS guidance, risk levels are based on hospital capacity, hospital COVID admissions and COVID-19 cases.
SCREENING and REPORTING REMINDERS
As a reminder, PLEASE continue to use the COVID screener tool EACH day. Children who are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 need to stay home from school and parents need to seek medical attention. This is an important measure that will help prevent or reduce the spread of the virus in our schools. In addition, please contact your child’s school via the attendance line and report that there is a positive case in your household. Do not send your child to school if there is a COVID positive case in your household. You will receive further instructions from your school and we will follow the NPS COVID RESPONSE PROTOCOL, as recommended by MDHHS.
BUILDING and DISTRICT CASE REPORTING
If you would like to be aware of the cases reported to each building, please visit the NPS COVID-19 Case Transparency Report, found under the COVID-19 Dashboard link on the main page of the district website. This transparency report is updated throughout the week with cases identified by building and grade level.
***********************************
hot lunch program for interested students
Families must preorder lunches for preschools and elementary students. Orders must be in by 8:30 AM for elementary students to receive a lunch that day. The system will not allow you to order after the time listed above. For your convenience, meals can be preordered up to 30 days in advance. To avoid any issues, we recommend ordering the night before.

Spotlight on our Amerman Bobcats
Fifth Grade Field Trip - Kids Against Hunger
Our fifth graders enjoyed a service opportunity at Maybury Farm this week. They paired up with students from Highland Park. Students worked together to package meals that will be sent throughout the country and to Poland to support Ukrainian refugees. They also had an opportunity to explore the farm.
Field Day/Leadership Day
Our 3rd, 4th and 5th grader leaders did an amazing job (with the help of some parent volunteers) running our field day events. Our students planned and organized this entire event (with the help of Ms. LaManna). Our students had so much fun!
