Ms. Shelly's News April 12

Several updates have been made on the upcoming events and reminders at the bottom.  Please make note of the End of Year party time and half day dismissal. This is new for all of us this year!  Looking forward to some super fun days coming up.

Rocket Relay will be next Friday 4/19. We are asking the K students to wear a shade of orange. We will do a
"pre-walk"to help students understand the concept of walking at relay for life. We will make an orange petal on
the flower we will be creating as a school.


NOHS FCCLA is hosting three events this Spring. On April 20th, we will have a Superhero Character
Breakfast from 8 to 10 AM.  On May 4th, we will have our Princess Tea Party from 2 to 4 PM. And lastly,
to kick start Mother's Day weekend we will have a Mother Son Carnival Night on Friday April 10th from
6 to 8 PM. All information about each of the events can be found online at nohsfccla.weebly.com

Monday, April 15 is the LAST day to bring plastic bags. Kindergarten has been collecting plastic throughout the year.  We currently have 1287 lbs. Let’s help them finish strong!

Our Kindergarten classes will be participating in a class egg hunt with our book buddies on Thursday, April 18th, in celebration of spring.   Please send in a dozen plastic eggs stuffed with a small piece of wrapped candy or a prize (like a sticker or tattoo) by next Wednesday morning.  You may send in a basket or reusable bag labeled with your child’s name for the hunt.  We look forward to this fun time! Please tape the eggs shut...thanks!
