Palma Sola Pulse

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful school community for your incredible support of our NEHS Socktober Sock Drive. Together, we collected an amazing 3,227 new pairs of socks! What an outstanding example of generosity and service to others. We are so proud of our students and families for helping make a difference in the lives of those in need. Congratulations to our top three participating classes, who will be recognized and rewarded for their outstanding efforts!

Our fifth grade "fun"draiser - "Boo a Buddy" continues every morning this week! Students can purchase Boo Buddies for $1 each in cafeteria starting at 7:45 am. Boo Buddies will be delivered to classrooms and distributed to students by their teacher through October 30th. All proceeds will benefit fifth grade end-of-year events.

With Halloween approaching, excitement levels are naturally building. While we want our students to enjoy the fun and anticipation of the season, we also expect them to remain focused on learning and making positive choices. We ask families to help us reinforce the importance of respectful behavior, following school expectations, and maintaining an academic mindset throughout the week. Together, we can ensure that our students have a fun, successful, and productive week at school. I'd also like to remind families to pay close attention to communications from teachers regarding any classroom activities or special events taking place this week. Teachers will provide details specific to their classes, so please be sure to check Dojo messages and blue folders regularly.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We wish everyone a wonderful week!

💙🐾💛See you soon! 💛🐾💙

It's time to check your cafeteria balance! Please log in to your SchoolCafé account and check to see if you owe money. A negative balance will follow your child until graduation, so it's best to take care of it as soon as you can! https://www.schoolcafe.com/ManateeCountySchools
