Happy New Year

Wow…I cannot believe the New Year is here! We have had a great school year so far and I am sure the best is yet to come.

Your presence in the school in 2011 not only demonstrated support for the teachers, but also sent a message to the students...Education Matters! As we proceed into 2012, let us continue our spirit of volunteerism. There are many opportunities to volunteer including helping teachers with projects, lending a hand with the Saturday Academy, and working with students to prepare for upcoming standardized testing. In addition, NFES has many events on the horizon for students and parents including the following:
  • Parent Workshops (Math Games K-5, Test Taking Strategies and CRCT Preparation, Reading Comprehension, and Technology at Home)
  • Valentine’s Day Party
  • PTO Meetings
  • Field Trips
  • Spring Book Fair
  • Career Day
  • Field Day
  • 5th Grade Commemoration Celebration
  • End of Year Party
