Celebrate National Inclusive Schools Week 12/5 ~ 12/9

“Inclusive Schools Week is an annual event sponsored by the Inclusive  Schools Network (ISN).  Since its  inception in 2001, Inclusive Schools Week has celebrated the progress  that schools have made in providing a supportive and quality education  to an increasingly diverse student population, including students who  are marginalized due to disability, gender, socio-economic status,  cultural heritage, language preference and other factors. The Week also  provides an important opportunity for educators, students and parents to  discuss what else needs to be done in order to ensure that their  schools continue to improve their ability to successfully educate all  children.”

With Many Thanks!

To all of our
PTA members:  THANK YOU.  This year has been a success both with the number of volunteers at our PTA events and with the number of dollars that we have raised for both NES and Balmer.  I hope you will take a minute to read the poem that Superintendent Gorky has passed along to the PTA and all of the volunteers that have helped make this year a success!!
With Sincere Appreciation to Jennifer Wolf and PTA Members
The key to our success
rests in people like you, who embody the spirit of
greatness by saying, “Yes I can, and so can you!”
Thanks for your inspiring dedication to
our teachers, students, families and
schools.
Now that your work is finished,
we say good bye with sad yet grateful hearts.
We want to thank you for your dedication, and being there
from the very start. Words cannot convey our gratitude
for your tremendous contribution.
With gratitude in our hearts
for your contributions to
our cause, we wanted to thank you with
our personal round of applause.
The credit for good deeds firmly rests
with our dedicated PTA volunteers like you.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for all of your
hard work and to bear witness to your passion
was an unexpected perk. We never could have asked
for a more dedicated volunteer group and words cannot express
how grateful we are that you were here during this school year.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with you.
Thank you!
