Where You're Challenged...and Belong
A few words from our Principal, Mrs. Kranz!
Hello NMFA Families,
It's hard to believe it is the end of September and we just completed out first month of school. We celebrated with apple treats for everyone! So many new friendships, skills, routines and procedures have been learned already! Thank you so much for all of your support in also adjusting to a new earlier start time. (Having raised 4 sons, I can honestly say that I vividly remember mornings being the most challenging getting everyone up and getting everyone ready for school.)
We were honored to have Justice Alan Page visit our school this week! He had a tour of our school, spoke to many students in our hallways and read a story to our 2nd and 3rd graders (along with a Q&A session). He shared the importance of "Excellence" in everything we do and many life lessons with our students. He is such an inspiring person! (We hope to bring him back to our school again to talk to other grade levels.)
The Scholastic Book Fair is set up! Students can purchase books all next week during the school day.
Many classrooms experienced "community building" CIRCLES today with their teacher and a trainer, Cathy Cranston. These circles are important for creating relationships and later they become the foundation of restorative practices for problem solving.
Next week, please watch for a survey link for all parents to gather input from you about the educational experience at NMFA.
Next week, please watch for conference sign up. We will be having parent-teacher conferences on site, October 12th afternoon, 13th afternoon and 14th all day.
Be safe, kind, responsible….and practice respect!
Love,
Mrs. Kranz, Principal
