Our Student Council puts together an amazing presentation of speeches, stories, and songs to honor our Veterans. Please fill out the following form by October 25th if you and your veteran are interested in joining us: tinyurl.com/24NHIVeteransDay

Nature Hill students will be collecting food items for the YMCA Thanksgiving Food Drive again this year. Please see the information below for details. Students can bring items to their classrooms for collection and a chance to help their classes and grades win some fun rewards!

The food drive runs from November 1st - November 17.

NOVEMBER 21ST 5th and 8th Grade WEB Turkey Trot after school event.

5th graders will be in groups with WEB leaders to search the school on our Turkey Trot Scavenger Hunt.

Find real live “turkeys” and ‘rubber ducks,” watch out for the mayor, the farmer, the OH NO! Team while finding hidden animals around the school. They will be worth points!

Compete against other teams to see who will find the most!

Once again this year, the Nature Hill Music Department is hosting a fundraiser supporting our Nature Hill Music Department and will be used for music scholarships for summer music camps and summer lessons. All orders will be placed online this year through our District Web Store.

Please join the NHI Music Groups on Saturday, December 7th for a Holiday Extravaganza Concert! Families will be able to visit with Santa, enjoy a pancake breakfast, make arts and crafts, purchase delicious cookies and bars, and enjoy delightful music performances from our music students. Breakfast tickets are on sale NOW! Visit our website (click here) to learn more and purchase tickets!

In 5th and 6th grades, outdoor recess is scheduled twice a day. In 7th and 8th grades, outdoor recess is scheduled once a day. During inclement weather with temperatures or wind chill of 10 degrees or below, students will have indoor recess.

Students are responsible for dressing for the weather. When there is snow on the ground, students must wear boots to be in the snow. It is essential that snow and ice remain on the ground, and that students stay off the snow for the safety of all.

Just to name a few of our clubs. So many to choose from

November Focus:

As you might expect, with Thanksgiving just around the corner, the Character Strong traits for November are Gratitude (5th grade) and Respect (6th-8th grades). We are going to ask students to give “Shout Outs” to their peers when they see them being respectful. Every week during our Thursday PBIS lesson, we also provide students an opportunity to acknowledge someone in their life for whom they are grateful.

Our staff is committed to setting high expectations, teaching, modeling and reinforcing positive behaviors, and supporting students in being their best selves at Nature Hill every day!

Hello Families! I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying the start of November. I’m so excited about everything we’re doing in our district to build strong connections with our families. We had an amazing turnout for our K-2nd grade Fall Fiesta & Literacy Night—thank you to everyone who came out and made it a fun event!
Please view my November Newsletter below, and feel free to reach out whenever there is a need or if you have ideas that you'd love to share with me regarding engaging schools, families, and our community. Together we are better!

We are thrilled to introduce new annual sports passes for families, individuals, and 4K-8th grade students! These passes provide unlimited access to all OHS home games, for all sports, for the 2024-2025 school year. With an annual pass, you can support our Raccoons while enjoying the convenience of not having to purchase individual tickets for each event. https://www.oasd.k12.wi.us/schools/athletics/tickets/ Please note that elementary and intermediate age children must be supervised by an adult, parent, or guardian at all OHS athletic events and must have an electronic ticket in order to enter events. Your support and supervision ensures a positive atmosphere and that everyone has a great time.

Any item found out of place at NHI can be located in our lost and found. This collection sits in our cafeteria, where students can look through it any time they'd like. We donate items left behind three or four times a year. Parents will be warned two weeks before a planned donation date with a notice here in the Wolf Pack Press.
