Happy Holidays!

Dear Families,


NO PRESCHOOL TOMORROW!


Thank you so much for coming to our family night last week. We had over 650 people!! We love seeing our families having fun together and making memories. If you didn't get to see our hallway displays, check out our NPES Facebook page! We shared the photos there - it is truly amazing!


Don't forget to pick up your fundraiser items! They are in the office. You may get them between 7:10AM and 3:30 PM.


Preschool families - please make sure you sign up for our PRESCHOOL HOLIDAY MEAL by WEDNESDAY. Money must be sent to school in advance. We do not take walk-ins or sign ups the day of the event, so you will want to register and pay ASAP. More info and sign-up link is below.


Holiday concerts will be THIS WEEK for 1/2 of kindergarten (the other half does spring concerts). Classes and times are noted below.


We have some fun theme days the last few days of school. These are totally optional and tied to themed treats we give our teachers each day (THANKS TO YOUR DONATIONS). Please see the list below if you'd like to have your child participate in the fun!


If you need assistance with the app in any way, please call the NPES office at 270-351-4464 or email laurabeth.hayes@hardin.kyschools.us


Sincerely,


Mrs. Hayes (principal)

Preschool Holiday Meal Preschool Holiday Meal

Sign Ups and Payment Must Be Completed in Advance!

Our Preschool Holiday Meal will take place on Friday, December 12th, 2025. Please pay close attention to the time beside your student's teacher when making plans to attend! If your child is a Tuesday/Thursday student, you may bring your child to school for the meal. You do not need to pay for a student. We are excited to continue this Preschool tradition at our school!

********************************************

We are asking that only 2 guests attend the meal with your student. Due to space and supplies we are unable to make exceptions for additional guests. We appreciate your understanding!

********************************************

There will be a pre paid cost for this meal of $5.00 for each of your 2 guests, cash only, due before December 10th. You must send this money in or come by the NPES office prior to December 10th. We will not accept money the day of the event to expedite the check in process. Please send the money in a marked envelope/baggie with your student's name and teacher.
