Halloween Spirit
NDES is having a great time getting into the Halloween spirit. The school’s first Trunk or Treat event sponsored by the Parent Association was a great success.
Thank you to all the participants who donated their time and talent to organize the event and decorate their trunks for the trick-or-treaters. Another big thank-you goes to student council members who made the school hallways look “spooktacular” with their homemade Halloween decorations.
Journey and Heroes
Eighth-graders participated in a Partners for Success and Innovation (PSI) program called Journey and Heroes last week. Students listened to a presentation and participated in several group activities designed to give them the opportunity to talk about relevant issues including making good decisions socially and emotionally, how to deal with peer pressure and gossip and how to find strong role models.
Students also discussed ways to support one another as they continue to navigate some of the pressures of growing up, standing up for what they know is right and continuing the journey of trying to be the good people God calls them to be.
The seventh-graders will also participate in a PSI program in November on healthy ways to deal with stress and suicide prevention.
Center Based Learning
Preschool students enjoy center-based learning every week. Students are exposed to several centers each week that focus on literacy, writing, math, science, religion, fine motor skills, art, sensory learning and teacher directed areas.
