Neubert Elementary School

Dear Neubert Families,

At Neubert, we have begun the important work of developing a new school mission and vision, and we would love your input! A school’s mission describes our purpose - why we exist and what we strive to accomplish each day - while our vision outlines what we hope to become as a school community in the future. Together, they guide our decisions, shape our goals, and ensure we are working toward a shared direction for all students. Our staff has already had the opportunity to provide feedback through a survey, and now it’s your turn! We will also be gathering input from our 4th and 5th grade students to ensure student voice is included in this process. On April 23 during our Literacy Night, families will have the opportunity to vote on the mission and vision statements that best represent Neubert. Please view the Mission & Vision section below and follow the prompts to share your thoughts - your voice is incredibly important and will help shape the future of our school! ✨ Thank you in advance.

We have one week left of school until a well-deserved spring break! As a reminder, school will be closed the week of March 30-April 3. We hope your family has a wonderful opportunity to rest, recharge, and enjoy time together.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support at home.

Your Partner in Education,

Ms. Nicole Bryan, Principal

March is Irish American Heritage Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the many contributions Irish Americans have made to our country’s history, culture, arts, education, public service, and community life. Throughout history, Irish immigrants and their descendants have helped shape the United States through leadership, perseverance, creativity, and a deep commitment to family and community values.

Ways Families Can Celebrate at Home

• Read a book together about Irish or Irish American history, folktales, or biographies.

• Explore family heritage by talking about your own family’s traditions, immigration stories, or cultural roots.

• Listen to traditional Irish music and learn about instruments like the fiddle or tin whistle.

• Cook a traditional Irish recipe together such as soda bread or colcannon.

• Learn about important Irish American figures, such as:

  • John F. Kennedy

  • Grace Kelly

  • Nellie Bly

• Create Celtic-inspired art using knot designs and traditional patterns.

• Research the history of St. Patrick’s Day and how it became a celebration in the United States.

• Discuss the importance of inclusion and belonging, and how learning about different cultures helps us build understanding and respect.
  
  

Celebrating heritage months helps our students grow in empathy, curiosity, and appreciation for the many cultures that contribute to our shared community. Let’s continue learning and celebrating together!

March is National Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate and honor the vital contributions women have made to our nation’s history, culture, science, education, government, and community life. From leaders and innovators to artists, activists, educators, and caregivers, women have shaped our world in powerful and lasting ways.

Ways Families Can Celebrate at Home

• Read a biography together about an influential woman in history.

• Watch a documentary or short video highlighting women’s contributions to science, sports, the arts, or public service.

• Have a family discussion about strong women role models in your own life—past or present.

• Research a “Woman of the Day” throughout the month and share one interesting fact at dinner.

• Create artwork or a poster celebrating a woman who inspires you.

• Explore STEM together by learning about scientists such as:

  • Marie Curie

  • Katherine Johnson

• Learn about women in leadership, such as:

  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg

  • Rosa Parks

• Encourage goal-setting conversations about dreams, leadership, and how children can make a positive impact in their communities.
  
  

By celebrating National Women’s History Month, we help our students grow in appreciation, respect, and understanding of the many women whose courage and contributions continue to shape our world.

Congratulations to Mrs. Radamacher's Class!

They are the winners of our Royal Broom Award for keeping the cleanest classroom the entire week of March 9! Our night custodians crowned them champions, and their room sparkled the brightest. ✨The Royal Broom competition runs all year long, so who will sweep up the honor next week? 🧹

We’re excited to share this month’s Perfect Attendance Reward! Students who have perfect attendance in March will earn a free kids meal at Chick-Fil-A! Let’s keep up the great attendance and enjoy some fun rewards!

Our Lost & Found is officially living up to its name and it’s bursting at the seams with hats and gloves! 🧤🧢 If your child’s winter gear mysteriously vanished, there’s a very good chance it’s hanging out here, waiting to be reunited with its owner. Please take a moment to check the Lost & Found pictures below.

To help lost items make a quicker reunion in the future, we encourage families to write students’ names on their belongings. A name goes a long way in helping us return items faster. Thank you for helping keep our Lost & Found from growing! 😊

Spirit days will continue in May for the end of the year countdown. Continue to wear your Neubert gear on Fridays to show your school spirit!

Our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a team of passionate parents and staff who work together to make Neubert an even better place to learn and grow. From planning fun family events to supporting teachers and students, the PTO helps build the strong, connected community our kids deserve. Stay tuned for ways to get involved!
