18th Annual Science Fair

On Feb. 4, NDES students participated in the 18th annual science fair. Eighty judges evaluated more than 239 projects that were designed and showcased by students in grades 1-8.

Approximately, 13 of the top seventh- and eighth-grade projects will be selected to go on to the Northeastern Ohio Science and Engineering Fair to be held at Cleveland State University on March 9-12.

Auction and Casino Night Features Class Art Projects

Calling all high rollers. On March 7, Notre Dame Elementary School will hold its annual auction and casino night at the Fowler’s Mill Golf Course, graciously donated by John and Gordana Brkic. For one night only, the Fowler’s Mill Golf Course facility will be transformed into a casino, offering many prizes for casino winners and high bidders.

Coding in Computer Class

Fifth-grade students are studying computer science and computer programming through a program called Hour of Code. Students are learning how to draw more complex images by looping simple sequences of instructions. They continue to implement problem solutions using a block-based visual programming language, using the basic steps in algorithmic problem solving to design solutions.

NDES reinforces logical thinking and problem solving skills through its computer science curriculum.
