Grizzly Gram
Howdy from Mr. Bouldin - October 4, 2024
Grizzly Families
What an amazing week for a great Homecoming celebration! Our students, staff and community really showed their Grizzly Pride this week. Check out the pictures below of the spirit that was happening all week.
We have Parent/Teacher Conferences (see flyer below) next week. Please come visit your student's teachers and work together to see the progress happening in the classrooms. Remember to help keep these conferences short so that all parents can get in to see teachers. If you can't make it in, you can email the teachers and communicate that way or set up a phone call to talk about your student's progress. We can't wait to see you all!
If you ever have questions, please feel free to reach out.

Counselor's Corner
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month —a time to raise awareness of this stigmatized, and often taboo, topic. Let us shift public perception, spread hope, and share vital information with people affected by suicide. The goal is to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help. If you are concerned about a friend or yourself, please stop by and talk with Ms. Daylan, Mrs. Anderson, or Ms. Thomasson. They will be there and excited to see you!
NHS Counseling Team
This is our amazing Counselor/Social Worker Team at NHS. If you need anything, please reach out to them for help. They are (l to r):
Amy Thomasson - At NHS Friday's Only
Daylan Kiss - At NHS Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Mornings
Cassie Anderson - At NHS Monday - Friday
