Notes from the North Park Hive

Dear Families,

I hope this newsletter finds you WARMER than it is outside - brrr! Remember that our students will play outside as long as temperatures are not dangerous, so it is important for them to have coats/jackets to stay warm. Often, we find that they do not need huge jackets, as they run and get warm while playing.

THERE IS NO PRESCHOOL TOMORROW. THIS IS THE NOVEMBER SCHEDULED MONDAY OFF. It comes close to the last one simply because of Fall Break last month Thanksgiving break this month.

Our fundraiser ends tomorrow and we have done SO WELL! We have profited close to $5000 due to your registrations and sharing with others. Remember that any student who sells 15 items or more (from sharing with others) will get to ride in a limo and go to Freddy's! We will also draw a prize package from the golden tickets turned in. Any student who registers earns the stuffed animal bracelet - no purchase necessary. THANK YOU for your help!

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

We will opened sign ups for our KINDERGARTEN THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY MEAL (Nov. 20th) LAST WEEK. The sign up is linked below. 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 have a fun SUPERHERO High Attendance Day on Wednesday! Let's see which class has the highest attendance! Superheroes show UP on time every time! Kids can wear a superhero shirt, costume, accessory, etc.

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)

We LOVE seeing students reading at home with their families!!!! The November reading tree leaves should be coming home ASAP, and you can print out from the link below as well! If you need more, just let your teacher know. READ TOGETHER AS A FAMILY! Your student earns a cool holiday-themed sticker.

All of the Family Resource Coordinators are planning a "hats off to helping others" event on November 25th. Students will bring $1 and will be able to wear a hat that day. All money will be used by the local FRCs to help with assisting families during challenging times. More info to come!

All Kindergarten families will be going to the PAC (Performing Arts Center) located at John Hardin High School on Friday morning. They will be watching a performance of Elf, Jr. by the North Hardin choir/drama program.
