Nellie in the Know Sept. 15

Hello Citizens of Nellie,

Another fantastic week at Nellie!  From the incredible Terry Fox Run, to our bottle drive, to our jam packed PAC meeting to the incredible work happening in classrooms; Nellie roared loud and proud this week.  We are so blessed to have so many amazing students, families and staff who always go above and beyond to support those around them.

A new parent asked me the other day about the Math Challenge.  What it is is a link in the Nellie In The Know where students can print it off at home, or pick one up at the office and enter a monthly contest by successfully answering their grade’s question.  Many students not only complete their grade’s question but as many of the other questions as possible.  So get involved and encourage your child to do the Math Challenge.

Meet the Teacher is very important.  Please read below to ensure that you know how to book your appointments.

Have a fantastic weekend!!!
