Spring is here and we entering our last few weeks of school! We have had a great school year and I am proud of our students and staff. There are many opportunities to keep your students involved this summer. There is baseball, softball, pools, and parks. I would encourage you to check out the Summer Fun in coordination with NPPS Foundation.
There are opportunities through out 4H Extension Office. I would also encourage you to check the NPPS Community Page for Sports Camps. North Platte Parks and Recreation have numerous activities this summer, even if there is construction going on. The best is yet to come!
One area that I would encourage families to focus 10-15 a day is reading. Our Public Library offers a great summer program. Our students were all sent home with over 6 personal books throughout the school year. When you are done reading a book or chapter, here are three key questions to ask and discuss:
- What was the main problem in the story, and how was it solved?
- Which character did you like best, and why?
- What lesson or message do you think the story was trying to teach?
Thank you for making my first year serving as your Principal a great one!
Educationally,
Dr. Tami Eshleman
