FROM THE DESK OF MS. TAYLOR AND MR. RODRIGUEZ
What a wonderful start to the school year. Our students did an amazing job acclimating to school. It has been great to reconnect with them. Our second major event will be Back to School Night on Wednesday, September 14th from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. Our first event was our Back to School Picnic which allowed students, families and our community partners to enjoy conversation and learn about the many resources we have in our area!
This month we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic American champions who have inspired others to achieve success.
This month's newsletter is filled with resources and various opportunities presented by our community. More importantly, we want to see a large turnout for the production of Town which is free to all and is hosted on our front lawn. Opening Night is Thursday, September 15th.
Please be sure to visit our webpage at https://www.nasd.k12.pa.us/Page/25 in order to stay informed or send us a note of community resources we need to share with our families!
