Toddlers/preschooler line up by the tennis courts at 11 am; grades K, 1, 2 will line up at the Head Start building (left side of cones) at 11:15 am; and grades 3, 4, 5 will line up by the Head Start building (right side of cones) for their Egg Hunt at 11:30 am. The bottle drive will be by the MS/HS from 10am-12:30 pm.

The sap is flowing today! Mr. Darrell Reyell helped our second grade classes tap the maple trees near the Elementary building this morning as part of a science/STEM unit. We will be collecting sap all week during this sweet, hands-on lesson!

Students at NAC Elementary celebrated two holidays today: the 100th Day of School AND Valentine's Day! Talk with your child about all the people they love and see how many things you can find around the house to count to 100!

All elementary students will be sent home with one box that contains two COVID-19 test kits this week. Please be on the lookout for these tests in your student's bookbag. The expiration date on COVID-19 tests we are sending home have been extended by the FDA. Attached you will find the new expiration dates.

NAC Key Club, Builders Club, and Elementary students recently made over 400 Valentine's Day cards and pictures for local senior citizens.

We hope these brighten their day!
