Dear Nederland Middle-Senior HS Families,
Well this has been an historic few days. We had 36 inches up here in Wondervu. While I have moved more snow in a 48 hour period than ever before, it was very disappointing for our students who were planning the greatest pow-day ever at Eldora. This coming week is Ski-Week, capped off with Ski-Day at Eldora on Friday, March 22, then a full week off for Spring Break. .
Have a safe weekend,
Gavan

Panther Parents - Nederland MS/HS PTA Notice

While knowledge of financial software like Quick Books helps, it is not at all necessary - you will receive all the training and support you need. The PTA cannot operate without officers, so it is imperative that this position be filled at the April PTA meeting.
