NBS HAPPENINGS
This week kicked off our #COLTPRIDE countdown. Thursday was Crazy Hair Day. Please see some very creative hairstyles all around our school. We love celebrating the year with everyone. We know we have days left to learn and the countdown adds even more joy to our day. The button below shares each spirit day for your child.
Additionally, Dr. Kathy Sztelle was nominated to represent North Barrington in Dr. Hunt's recognition program, "Dr. Hunt Outfront". Please watch for notification through our social media pages to help us celebrate one of our many excellent educators here at NBS.
