NPE NEEDS YOU! If you are interested in a position on the NPE PTA Executive Board, or have a nomination in mind, please use this link to make your nomination. You may nominate yourself for any position you are interested in. We will accept nominations until Friday, March 22, 2024. We have three vacant positions that need to be filled for next year: Vice President of Ways and Means, Secretary, and Treasurer.
Thank you for your consideration of this opportunity to support NPE. Our PTA is truly amazing! Meetings are held once a month (August through May), with Zoom meetings one month and a face-to-face meeting with teacher representatives on opposite months.
Thank you to our NPE Pawsitivity Patrol for the yummy treats on Friday, March 15th. Teachers and staff really enjoyed and appreciated all of these fun snacks!

Weekly Character Challenge
Each week, New Providence highlights student leaders who are demonstrating good character skills such as using the quiet signal, showing Roary's expectations, and/or exemplifying kindness. As a student shows one of these skills, they are presented with a ticket. That ticket is put into a box and names are drawn at the end of each week.
Congratulations to our drawing winners from the week of 3/11:
Braxton A. - Adams
Eva B. - Blewett
Anderson C. - Smith
Knox P. - Burwick
Keith P. - Sundberg
Adrian A. - Dyar
