Nash News
Good evening Nash Families,
Our featured photo this week is from our afterschool enrichment program Mindfullness. We will be having a second session soon.
As you can see from our other photos, we had yet another fun-filled week of learning and collaborating.
Grade five students did a science lesson on revealing the message using blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries. This was a great hands-on lesson, we thank Mrs. Dunderdale for her creativity, fun was had by all.
On behalf of the teachers and staff here at The Nash, we would like to wish you all a wonderful winter break. May enjoy this time with family and friends.
When we return from break it will be time to start our Read Across America events. The month is filled with fun incentives for students to read, create, and celebrate.
Playground update: Thank you to all of our donors we have raised $16,680.00 Please see our Playground Campaign using this Link:
Parent announcements: No Parent council meeting this month
Please dress the children warmly. The weather has finally become colder. We use a weather chart to direct how long the kids should stay outside for recess. Studies show that children need frequent breaks, fresh air and movement for their physical and mental wellness. We strive to have them go outside as much as possible (weather-dependant).

Parent Education and Social-Emotional Resources:
Please visit this site for helpful tips and resources to support the whole family:
Ways to support math at home:
Student attendance is essential for academic growth and social-emotional development. We value the time spent with family, however, we urge you to take vacations when school is not in session. If you are having difficulty getting your student to school, please reach out to me, the classroom teacher, or our school nurse. We are all here to support you and our students.
