What's Up At The Nest...

We have had so much fun this week with our ABC Countdown. Thursday was K - Kindness. Students spread kindness notes throughout the school to brighten our day. The messages were incredibly sweet and thoughtful. These last few weeks of school certainly are fun! Speaking of fun, don't forget to complete a field day permission slip for each of your children so they can participate in all of the fun activities and inflatable obstacle course. A link to the permission slip is below.


We hope Olive-U have an outstanding weekend!

Thomas Book Drive

A huge thank you from Thomas Middle School to all who were able to contribute to the TMS BE THE GOOD Book Drive - We were able to set up a library at the New Life Homeless Shelter & send 6+ bins to Bernie's Book Bank! Wow!

Good Night Glowing Cube

We talk a lot about cultivating a growth mindset in our students. One way to keep the conversation going at home is to create a glowing cube for a positive mindset bedtime ritual.

Each side of the cube has a question such as

  • What did you learn today?
  • How were you kind today?
  • What are you grateful for?

Check out the link below to see how it works and how you and your child can make one together.
