Tomorrow, Monday, March 13th is a Power Monday.
Message from Principal Waits:
Thank you to our NES PTO for another awesome family event Friday night for the
Mom/Son Game Night! Our boys and their moms had a great time playing Dodge
Ball, dancing, eating snacks, taking silly photos, and playing other fun games.
We are expecting cooler temperatures throughout the coming week. Please check
the weather forecast daily and dress students accordingly for the bus stop and
outside recess time.
