THE KNIGHTLY NEWS

Dear Families,

This weekend it is going to be so cold. Stay warm and cozy by reading Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's library. Reading at home is so important and staying current with our One School, One Book will help students win prizes each week by answering trivia questions. Check out this week's winners below. We hope you can find 15-20 minutes each night to read together. Parents can read aloud while children focus on their listening comprehension or children can read aloud to work on their fluency. You can even mix it up and take turns!

Save the date for our Family Night on February 12th at 5:00 pm where we will come together after the whole school has read Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library for activities, snacks and fun.

Do you or anyone you know live in the Neihardt attendance area and have a child starting Kindergarten in 2026?

Call the Neihardt office to be added to our communication list even if you

already have other students attending Neihardt.

Dear PTO Members,

Thank you so much for purchasing books from our Millard Public Schools Foundation Jingle Fundraiser wish list. The books will be used in our new book vending machine. Your generosity helps put exciting, engaging books directly into the hands of our students and encourages a love of reading.

We truly appreciate your continued support and all that you do to make our school such a special place.

We would also like to thank the Millard Public Schools Foundation for their continued support and generosity to Neihardt Elementary. We are truly grateful and appreciative.

With gratitude,
The Staff at Neihardt Elementary

Thank you to Mr. Bodenstedt, father of Kailey and Keegan who volunteered as our Watch D.O.G.S. this week. He spent his time in classrooms, PE, music class, eating lunch with his students and recess. We appreciate you coming in and volunteering.

Calling All Parent Volunteers!

Each week, our Neihardt Knights have the opportunity to spend their hard-earned Castle Coins at the Shield Shop table!

We would love to have parent volunteers help out by collecting Castle Coins and assisting students as they shop.
