Let’s get ready for summer reading by trading books! From June 10th through June 16th, part of the Library will become a “new to you” bookshop. All students will visit the Book Swap Shop with their class.

At the Book Swap Shop, we use Lion Bucks instead of money. Each Lion Buck is worth one book. Every student will receive two Lion Bucks from the Library when they visit the Book Swap Shop.

In addition, students can trade up to ten books they own (but no longer want) for additional Lion Bucks to spend at the Book Swap Shop. Just bring the books, in good condition, to school and drop them off at the Library between Monday June 1 → Tuesday, June 9.

All library books are due back at Library class during the week of June 8th!

We will have a poster raffle again this year. Return ALL your books to the library by Friday, June 12th and get a ticket for a chance to win a cool poster!

This past Saturday Neshobe School held our Community Mural Paint Day. We had great weather and a fantastic turnout. Thank you to all the students, families, and community members who showed up! The mural took a big step forward on Saturday and over the next couple weeks Juniper Creative will work to put the finishing touches on it. See some of the picture below and check out this article on the project in the Rutland Herald: https://www.rutlandherald.com/news/local/neshobe-school-community-participates-in-collaborative-mural-process/article_2e62fd3a-98b9-5043-9e41-cd19d7d51289.html

In our regular art classes the second graders are finally getting a chance to finish their clay projects. For this project they first made a clay figure - person, animal, or imaginary person/animal, then built and decorated a 3D paper background/habitat for it. This project took several weeks because we had to make the clay, paint the clay, make the background, and decorate the background. Students put a lot of creative work into these and it really shows!

Dear Families,

We are inviting you to participate in our School Climate and Culture Survey, administered through Panorama Education. This survey is an important opportunity for you to share your perspectives on your child’s school experience.

The survey asks about topics such as school climate, communication, safety, relationships, and overall satisfaction. Your feedback helps us better understand what is working well and where we can improve to better support all students and families. The information we gather is used by school and district leaders to guide planning, strengthen practices, and ensure we are creating welcoming, supportive environments for every student.

We strongly encourage all families to take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your voice matters, and higher participation helps us make more informed and representative decisions.

Please use the link below to access the survey:

Thank you for your time, your partnership, and your continued support of our schools.

Sincerely,

Neshobe Admin

Dear Neshobe Families and Caregivers,

RNESU is excited to offer summer programming for eligible students this July. Summit the Summer: Summer Learning Academy is a four-week program designed to support student growth in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment.

The program will run Monday through Friday, from 8:00 to 11:00, beginning Monday, July 6, 2026, and ending Friday, July 31, 2026. Programming will take place at both Lothrop Elementary School and Neshobe School.

We will be coordinating with local summer day camps through Pittsford Recreation (Pittsford) and the Boys & Girls Club (Brandon) to help ensure a smooth transition for students participating in both Summit the Summer and afternoon camp opportunities.

Our goal during these four weeks is to help students strengthen essential academic skills, build confidence, and remain engaged in learning through a combination of hands-on activities and targeted academic support.

Eligible students will receive additional information and registration materials through their classroom teachers.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
