Student Learning Buddies
1st Grade - Mrs. Lash
2nd Grade - Mrs. Shoemaker
It's been another learning-filled week at New Britton! I am proud of the collaboration and engagement that I see on a daily basis; we are a true community of learners. We believe that together we are stronger and smarter. This statement is evident on a daily bases as you walk down the hallways and observe the interactions of students, students and teachers/staff, and staff members together.
Our students have been reflecting upon the power of people, connections, and kindness during Black History Month. They have been exposed to rich literature depicting how we can "be the change we wish to see in the world." Please encourage your child to "read the walls" at school as our display of student responses to this literature is growing.
Mr. Couto has shared the exciting news about our Lady Tigers basketball team playing in the state finals this weekend. Please send some positive thoughts their way as this is the first time in school history for them to play in the state finals! Our Circle the State with Song Choir will be participating in a singing workshop this Saturday and then performing at Anderson University. We are Bulldog Proud of the work they, and Mrs. Thornsberry, have put in during their practice sessions second semester!
As always, thank you for partnering with us in education! Have a restful weekend.
Sincerely,
Lori Mankin

Family Resources
Snack Attack - Fishers Youth Assistance Program
NBE is pleased to announce the return of the Snack Attack program for those students in need. This program, supported by the Fishers Youth Assistance Program, is designed to provide students a little extra nourishment for the weekend until they can receive a hot meal at school on Monday.
Here's how the program works. Your student will pick up a small sack of food to be taken home over the weekend. The sack is filled with individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars, fruit cups, pop tarts, peanut butter/crackers, Goldfish crackers, etc. The type of snacks will vary each week. Please let us know if your child has a peanut allergy as he/she will receive a special bag of peanut-free snacks.
There is no cost to you or the school. This program is open to students that qualify for the reduced lunch program or have an increased need currently.
To be part of this free program, you must sign up your family online. https://forms.gle/xrKNaxRaLypSqKvV8
