Music Notes
The students at NOE are hard at work preparing for their Holiday Concerts on Thursday, December 12, at Gaylord High School. The performance times are: 8:30am/1st Grade, 9:00am/Kindergarten, 9:30am/2nd Grade, and 10:00am/3rd Grade at GHS. A parent letter with important information about the concerts went home with each student a couple of week ago. If you are a 3rd Grade Parent. please encourage your child to practice reading through their song lyrics. A packet of songs went home with each 3rd Grader at the end of October. If you need another copy, please have your child see me. If you have any questions about the concerts, please contact me at the phone number or email listed below. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

North Ohio's "Little" Lending Library
Stop by and take a book home for the night.
Ms. Minor and Mrs. Raatz had the idea to create something that would encourage our community to share our love of reading. Together they built a wonderful lending library which will be filled with books for people to borrow, read, and return.
Not only do we want this lending library to encourage our community to love reading, we wanted this little library to show our love and appreciation for someone from our school family who has shown our community so much love throughout her long career as North Ohio School Counselor, Mrs. Robin Little.
It is our pleasure to dedicate the "Little Library" to Mrs. Robin Little.
Please stop by our little library, outside of our front doors, and take a book home to read to your student tonight. Donations are also appreciated.
