Here is a quick recap of all the fun things PTO did for teachers and staff this week. We are so lucky to have dedicated, talented and kind staff educating our children. Trail mix bar, popcorn snacks, a drink bar, coffee gift cards and even a catered lunch from BJ's Deli were just some of the ways we showed our appreciation. Thank you to NES Families for participating by sending in donations, letters/pictures to teachers.

NES Families, you should have received a communication from your child's teacher about silent auction basket items. Teachers will be accepting donations from now until Friday April 24th. If needed, donations can be turned in as late as Monday April 27th but please let teachers know if you will be bringing items in on Monday.
Bidding for the silent auction baskets will take place at our ice cream social/book fair/celebration of the arts night on April 30th. Money raised will go directly back to the students/school for student enrichment and residencies.
This year each grade level has a theme and will be accepting items within the chosen theme. Details are noted on the chart by teacher/grade level.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
