Notes from the North Park Hive
A little BUZZ from the principal
Let's have a GREAT week!
Dear Families,
Thank you for participating in I Love to Read Week last week. We had so much fun promoting the joy of reading with our students last week. All of these things may seem like "just fun," but they help to build foundational attitudes about school and literacy for our young students. Everything is intentional - even if we are having fun along the way!
DON'T FORGET THERE IS NO PRESCHOOL TOMORROW. This was on the calendar and set by the district at the beginning of the year.
Please note that the deadline for the yearbook will be coming up this month. We always have families who wish they had bought one. Don't miss out. They're such a nice keepsake for you to have.
School pictures are coming up NEXT WEEK. Please be sure to order GROUP PICTURES if you are interested. There is a deadline. Everyone likes to have a copy of their child's preschool and kindergarten class picture. I have a senior this year and these early photos are so precious to me!
Have a great week!
Please call the NPES office at 270-351-4464 or email laurabeth.hayes@hardin.kyschools.us if I can help you with anything!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hayes (principal)

Reading Tree at NPES
Let's show our students how LUCKY they are to read books with you!
We LOVE seeing students reading at home with their families!!!! Our tree is looking a little sad - it needs more LEAVES this month. Read together at home and send in your leaves!
Kindergarten Graduation
Save the date!
This is a tentative date as we are waiting for the HCS Board to set graduation dates for the high schools. We will keep you posted! We have TWO graduation ceremonies (split the classrooms in half) and we give out a set number of tickets. We have a firm procedure in place for this that has worked very effectively the last two years. More info to come, but I wanted you to get the tentative date on your calendars.
PBIS Reward this Month
This month's PBIS reward is basketball time in the gym!
Picture Day is Coming Soon!
Kindergarten Field Trip
Kindergarten students will attend the Lion King, Jr. production at the Hardin County Schools PAC on March 20th. Your generous donations during our Fun Run helped make this (and our preschool field trips) possible!
