Happy November!

Dear Families,


Welcome to November! In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we are very THANKFUL for our students and families! THANK YOU for a wonderful year so far. We look forward to a lot of special memories with our students between now and Winter Break!


Our fundraiser is off to a great start! It ends on November 10th. If you have not registered, please consider registering your student. It's totally free to register and your student earns a very cool stuffed animal bracelet. We are about $2300 from our goal - I know we can do it! See more info below in the newsletter.


Thank you for the food donations for our Family Resource food drive!


We will open sign ups for our KINDERGARTEN THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY MEAL (Nov. 20th) THIS WEEK. Please watch for a separate message/announcement for that sign-up/payment. The cost is $5 and you MUST register in advance. Preschool families will be attending our Christmas Holiday Meal in December.


Be sure to read about our amazing night (a week from Wednesday) planned by our very own FRC, Ivy Taylor, and the other north end FRYSC coordinators. It is a wonderful night for families to receive a lot of support, learn a lot and make connections! Check out the info and register below.


We will be celebrating our NPES Veterans (and Active Duty military) on November 7th. More info is below in the newsletter, but we hope our veterans and active duty members will join us for our celebration (parade and refreshments). Please be sure to sign up so we can be prepared for your visit. We will close sign ups on Thursday morning to make arrangements.


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)

Portrait of a Learner

Our Portrait of a Learner focus this month was "responsible citizen." We reminded students that they are responsible when they come to school on time, work hard during the school day and show respect by following school rules and expectations. We will recognize responsible citizens at our assembly on Wednesday. During November, we will focus on engaged learners.
