Dear NHS Families,
NHS Plastic Bag Recycling Challenge
We are collecting plastic bags to recycle! Believe it or not, they are used in making Trex decking material. If we can collect 1,000 pounds of bags by May 2025, we will earn a free Trex bench for our school and help reduce plastic waste! See the flyer for types of bags we can collect. So far, we have collected over 82 pounds! Keep it up!

Playground Work
Our playground repairs and installations are almost complete. The Wee-Saw is installed, we have 2 new flat swings, and a new preschool picnic table, courtesy of PAL! We have made a number of small repairs and should have the rolling log back in business very soon. We will also be replacing portions of the rubber mat where it is worn later this spring or early summer.
Jaggy’s Birthday
Come have lunch with your child at school on May 29th and celebrate Jaggy’s birthday. Adults can pre-order and pre-pay for their lunch. Students can charge their lunch to their account. We ask that parents not bring any take out food but rather sign up for school lunch if they wish to eat here. We plan to eat outdoors that day. Parents and guardians who sign up would come at their child’s recess/lunch time. Here is the schedule:
11:00-11:45: Grades K-2
11:25-12:10: Grades 3, 7, 8
11:55-12:35: Grades 4, 5
12:15-12:50: Grade 6
If your child wants to make a birthday card and/or bring a gift for Jaggy, he LOVES boxes of kleenex, ziploc bags (gallon, quart, or sandwich size), Cleaning wipes, Sidewalk chalk, Snack sized packages of healthy snacks, packages of markers (both crayola and expo), and Number 2 pencils. Jaggy is good at sharing with teachers too!
