Principal Sar's Monthly Message
2020 has been a tough year to handle and the beginning of the 2021 will be a difficult start until many of us can get vaccinated and bring everything back to normal. I hope we are doing as well as possible during the pandemic. We can have lots of excuses of why things didn't go our way this year, but I believe everything that has happened has made all of us stronger than ever. Our teachers set forth on this journey to educate your children from a distance. We have asked for your continued support and you gave your students a chance to succeed by working with them at home. This is a great example of how our community has become stronger during this time. We hope things can return to normal as soon as possible, but in the meantime, please keep safe and healthy. From the staff at Nuffer Elementary, we hope that 2021 will bring many blessings and happiness.
With Love,
Mr. Sar

Teacher Spotlight
Hello! My name is Mrs. Fox and I am a first grade teacher at Nuffer. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction. This is my 14th year in education. I have a husband, 2 kids, and a quarantine puppy name Mojo. We love to go camping and hang out at the beach. I also like working out, making teacher stuff for my TPT store, and I love to travel! I dream of one day eating sushi in Japan! I absolutely love working at Nuffer with the amazing students! My goal for this year is to create the best learning opportunities for my students, motivate them, and build everlasting relationships. I hope my students know how happy they make me and that I am always there for them!
