A weekly update from campus...
May 11, 2018
Happy Friday! We had an awesome week at Norris! We had our Bike to School Day (see pictures below) and several Meet and Greets to welcome our new Ashley families. Field Day was a blast! It was awesome to see so many parents come and cheer on their children. Shout out to the many volunteers that helped out during our Field Day and A HUGE thank you to Coach Burleigh and the Specials teachers for making it happen!
Have a wonderful and restful weekend!

Power Down Day May 22, 2018
What is Power Down Day: It’s a 24-hour challenge to disconnect from our digital devices in order to connect with ourselves, our loved ones, and our community in real time.
Goal: Encourage students, staff, and families to reconnect with themselves, peers, loved ones, and community in real time. Although electronic devices are essential communication tools in today’s world, we can all agree they are often overused. Finding a healthy balance is key. The idea is to make more time for talking and listening without electronic interruptions
See the flyer below for suggestions for the day, as well as some alternative activities to do while you are powered down.
Attention Nelson Students:
Want to join the Student Ambassadors? Then check out the information below! Contact Mrs. Luhrs at: LuhrsA@friscoisd.org if you have further questions.
Attention Maus Students:
On May 21 from 4:00-5:00, we will be having our Annual 5th Grade Social at Maus! Please see the attached flyer and RSVP if your child can attend the event.
Thank you!
