Students Visit Health Center
Students in Mrs. Biro’s first-grade class enjoyed visiting the Sisters of Notre Dame Health Care Center. The students made rosaries to give to each Sister. They sang a thank-you song, gave them a card and completed word searches. They ended their time together by praying a Hail Mary.
Allergy Awareness
NDES is proud of its allergy awareness initiatives. A parent driven Allergy Committee headed up by Mrs. Nicole Reel ensures that all students are safe at school. From nut free classrooms, to allergy safe birthday snacks and classroom parties, the needs of all children are taken into account. Earlier this week, Mrs. Reel visited classrooms in support of allergy awareness. The school is so grateful to her and the committee for supporting NDES in its commitment to the safety of the children.
Girl Scouts Flourish at NDES
NDES hosts the largest Girl Scout troop in the Chardon Service Unit.There are more than 20 girls involved in the Brownie troop at NDES. The girls have been busy this fall completing their Brownie Quest Journey and earning outdoor badges such as the Outdoor Art Creator and Hiker Badge.
The girls learned about staying safe when hiking, respecting the environment by practicing “Leave No Trace” and exploring the outdoors while remaining right here on campus. The girls created artwork using items they found in nature such as pine cones, acorns and berries. It was all girl led and girl designed.
NDES is so blessed to have so many resources on campus to help the girls discover their talents and passions. Recently, the troop had an opportunity to express their creativity with a special Spirit of Clay project.
Students Enjoy Stone Soup
The whole preschool enjoyed reading “Stone Soup” and making soup together as a school. Pre-k students were in charge of bringing in the soup ingredients while the 3-year olds helped to make the bread. It was a wonderful activity that allowed everyone to show their thankfulness for their friends, teachers and school.
Blue Ribbon Focus
Students at Notre Dame Elementary School do their part each and every day to give to others. Throughout the year, fundraising opportunities and service projects are initiated. The value of giving and sharing talents and skills is a way of life that reaches beyond the walls of NDES to the greater community.
