Book Fair Thank You!
Thank you to our NMES community for supporting the spring book fair! During the week, we sold $11,300 in books and other items, proving how much our wolves love reading! The media center receives 25% of the sales as a profit. We used part of this to provide free books to students and classrooms, as well as purchase new books from the book fair for the media center. We thank everyone for supporting reading at our school!
Optional Holiday Choice Board
Learn about all of the diverse and fun holidays that occur in March with our optional choice board! You can find it at https://bit.ly/NMESApril24Board or by clicking the picture on the right. Each link will take you to a library database to learn and explore!
Adopted Wolf
Don't forget that the PTA has adopted a wolf from the Wolf Conservation Center in honor of our amazing NMES wolves! You can view Silas' camera at https://nywolf.org/meet-our-wolves/webcams/webcam-ambassador-wolves-nikai-and-silas/. Students will learn more about Silas during the week before spring break!
