Miss Lauritson and her family are huge advocates for rescue dogs. This week, Miss L read a book about a homeless dog that wrote letters to everyone in his community asking for someone to adopt him. She went on to explain how fostering and adopting works, how it's impacted her life, and how they can help too. Yesterday, with the help of Miss L's parents, the students of KL got to have their own dog adoption experience. Everyone had so much fun!
Our 2nd graders wrapped up their ocean science unit with an exciting trip to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium! Over the past few months, students have been learning about the diversity of Earth’s habitats and ended their study with a deep dive into the ocean. During their visit, they had the opportunity to see many of the amazing sea animals they learned about up close and in person. It was a fun and memorable way to bring their learning to life!
Congratulations to our 2026 Spelling Bee participants! After several rounds, one of our fifth graders outlasted all of the other spellers. Great job by all!
The 10 Days to Summer Countdown is in full swing in Mrs. Roberts's first grade class. Last week the class participated in joke day. Students brought a joke from home and read them to the class in disguise faces! There were so many belly laughs! They also wrote knock knock jokes and tongue twisters. It was such a comedic day!

Rolling, gliding, and growing! 🛼✨ Our elementary crew had an absolute blast during Skating Week! It’s been incredible to watch their confidence soar as they master new gross motor skills—from finding their balance to navigating those turns. There were plenty of giggles, a few wobbles, and a whole lot of progress. Check out these smiles and smooth moves! 👇

Congratulations to our Minutemen artists!
Help us celebrate our April Purple Pride winners!
Check this out: Our third grade students celebrated March Madness in STEM by engineering and following a budget to build a basketball hoop. We love the hands-on teamwork opportunities our STEM program provides our students!
Reminder for Preschool Developmental Screenings on April 22nd.
If you mix together some brave and confident elementary students with hidden talents, some organized and responsible high school student leaders to run a show, and one volunteer judge ready to declare winners, you get the recipe for a perfect talent show! The Marvelous Mini Minutemen 2026 was a huge success! All money raised by NHS will be donated to Special Olympics.
We are looking for amazing people to join our team! We have an immediate need for substitutes in various areas of the building, and we are looking for rockstars to join our staff for the 26-27 school year.
