Molnar's Community Update

As we take time to reflect on all we are grateful for, we want to remind our community that there will be no school this Wednesday, November 27th through Friday, November 29th for our Thanksgiving break. We hope you enjoy this time with your loved ones, and we look forward to seeing everyone back next week, refreshed and ready to finish the semester strong! Wishing Comet Nation a safe, restful, and joyful Thanksgiving!

Our community has come together to celebrate the life of Alex Louks. On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM, Wendy’s at 604 N Leavitt Rd will host a Dine-to-Donate event to support Alex's Memorial Fund.

How You Can Help:
Simply stop by Wendy’s during the event hours, and 20% of all sales—including mobile orders, pull-up window, and dining room transactions—will be donated directly to the Memorial Fund. No flyer is required.

Mrs. Liming's 5th Grade Class at Walter G. Nord School is making a big difference! Recently, the students embarked on a meaningful community service project, collecting plastic grocery bags to create plarn—a unique, eco-friendly material made by repurposing plastic bags into yarn. This versatile “yarn” can be used for knitting, crocheting, and weaving. Using the plarn that students made, Mrs. Liming crafted sleeping mats that will be sent to a church in North Carolina, where they will be distributed to hurricane victims in need.

A special shout-out to Mrs. Von Kaenel, Nord’s Music Teacher, who connected with the church and has been storing all of the completed mats in her classroom.

Watch the video below to see the students in action, and witness the creativity and teamwork that went into this thoughtful project.
