Our third graders have created an AMAZING pumpkin patch of storybook characters this week! Students have loved looking at all of these awesome creations on display in the library. Who do you recognize?

Mrs. Yanssens is offering new sessions for her after school art studio program for 1st through 5th grade students. This program is structured to encourage artistic growth and creativity and a variety of media will be explored. On the final day, there will be an Artist Exhibition in the art room to showcase the artwork created during this course. More details can be found on the flyer linked here!

If you would like to sign up your child, please print and fill out the permission slip linked at the bottom of this flyer and turn in with payment by November 7th. You may send cash or checks payable to NPES.

Please contact Mrs. Yanssens with any questions:

Each week, New Providence highlights student leaders who are demonstrating good character skills such as using the quiet signal, showing Roary's expectations, and/or exemplifying kindness. As a student shows one of these skills, they are presented with a ticket. That ticket is put into a box and names are drawn at the end of each week.

Congratulations to our drawing winners from the week of 10/30:
