Golden Garbage Can Award ~

This year we have changed the criteria for receiving the Golden Garbage Can Award.  Instead of the Golden Garbage Can going to a whole class it is being given out to specific students that go above and beyond the call of duty to help keep the school neat and tidy.  For example a student may be recognized for keeping their locker and/or desk tidy or for picking up garbage or items without being asked.

For the month of October the award goes to:

Makenna M - Kindergarten

Tolson H - Gr. 1

Spencer D - Gr. 2

Jaimesen H - Gr. 3

Brianna L - Gr. 4

Aron M - Gr. 5

Jordan D - Gr. 6   

Here are some highlights from the first week of November.

The NED Show ~

On Oct. 31st the NED Show presented to the school.  The presentation was well received by the students and staff. Everyone enjoyed hearing about how Ned had to make choices and use his determination to overcome his adversities.  The students also enjoyed watching all of the different tricks that were completed with yo-yo's.  Many of the students have been spending their breaks practicing those tricks.  

Halloween ~

Oct. 31st was a very busy day at NHCS.  Pumpkin carvings were on display in the old computer room.  Thanks to everyone that shared their Jack-O-Lanterns.  What great carvings!

In the afternoon the students participated in a variety of Halloween activities.
