Nassau Notebook

Bryceville Elementary School students volunteered at the Storehouse of Northeast Florida, assisting the local food pantry in preparing for an upcoming food distribution. BES students sorted and bagged canned goods and other non-perishable items, putting the month's resiliency theme of volunteering into action! It was an incredible opportunity to apply what our students are learning in the classroom! We are so proud of our students and their families for embracing the opportunity and giving back to our local community!

Each year, all Pirates at Emma Love Hardee Elementary are provided with the opportunity to complete the Sunshine State Young Readers Award book challenge by reading at least 10 of the books on the list. This year, 88 students across all grade levels completed the challenge and celebrated their hard work and success by partying with a video game truck, roller racers, and delicious pizza and ice cream sundaes. We can’t wait to see all the amazing things these students will do in the future!
