Happy Friday Citizens of Nellie!
The Week in Review:
Nellie's Volunteer Appreciation Assembly was yesterday. We enjoyed celebrating the many folks who donate their time, talents and resources to support Nellie staff and students. See photos on our Nellie Weekly pics link at the bottom of this email!
Nellie's Annual Year-End Family Picnic also took place yesterday. The food trucks were a huge hit and it was fun to take part in this great community building event. Even when the rain came, students were happy to play in the gym and enjoy the evening to its fullest. A big shout out to our School Council for planning this super family event.
