Hello Northridge Elementary folks,
We hope you enjoyed an extra hour sleep during this glorious weekend!!! We are looking forward to another great week at NES!
Thank you for attending our Halloween Parade! Such a great turn out. The kids were so excited and proud to see everyone!! Having folks attend made it the BEST!! Thanks also for sending the kids in costumes and for all the treats and goodies.....and help in many cases. Halloween was the best at Northridge Elementary because of YOU and our children!! It was spooktacular!!
HELP IS NEEDED: We are now collecting candy or trinket donations for Monday's Trunk or Treat. Please drop off in the office or send in with a student. Thanks for supporting our efforts with our children. Our FAMOUS Trunk or Treat is Monday. Wait until you see all the community organizations attending!! Loads of community and staff trunks including: our cafeteria, NYAA, Lifewise, the Athletic Boosters, Texas Roadhouse, our great faculty and staff, Peterman Transportation, Johnstown Fire Dept., the Croton Church, the Alexandria Library, PTO, district offices...just to name a few.
On Monday, November 11th, we will celebrate VETERANS DAY as it is celebrated throughout the country. We will have a few veterans speak, songs, and special readings to teach us all about the wonderful Veteran Heroes in our school and community. In honor of our Veteran heroes in our families and school community, your family is invited to send in the name and or a hand drawn picture or real picture of the Veteran in your family. We will display the veteran creating USA HALLS OF HONOR!!! Here is form to make a copy of, complete and return to school....(we will be sending a hard copy too). To involve everyone......kids are invited to wear red, white or blue.....or patriotic clothes to celebrate on November 11th.
Save the date! Our 2nd and 3rd grade winter music program is Thursday, December 12th at 6:00 pm in the Northridge Elementary Auditeria. Attached, you will see the letter that students brought home with great information. Below, Ms. Rodesh linked Google Folders with the lyrics and recordings for each song. You can access them by scanning the QR codes on the attached letter, as well. Ms. Rodesh will send updates when speaking roles have been assigned and added to the Google Folder. Please let her know if you have any questions or concerns. The songs are sounding beautiful and we are so excited to share them with you!

- LOST AND FOUND The NES Lost and Found has grown!!! Each day we see more than 2-3 sweatshirts added, many hats and gloves; numerous coats, etc. join the ever growing collection. We highly suggest having children label their belongings and remind them to bring home what they wear to school!!! You would be astounded at our collection of fine, fine things!! ☺ Since many families have looked in the collection AND we need room, we will begin to donate remaining items on November 1st.
