Preschool Family Fun Night was a great success.
The weather was beautiful, the fishing was so so, the boat ride was
soothing and the hot dogs and s’mores cooked over the open fire were
scrumptious.
On September 8, 2022 our Preschool Families met at the Nauvoo State
Park for an evening of fun for our families. It was great to see our
families interact with their children and other families.
We wish to extend a big thank you to the Nauvoo State Park employees
for providing the fishing equipment and an awesome site to fish, a lake
for a ride in a boat, and the wood for the fire and many picnic tables.
A big thank you also to The Burtalo family who provided boat rides
around the lake and the Squire Family –Nauvoo Red Front- for
organizing the Weiner Roast.
Most of all, we thank our Preschool Parents for the giving of time to
their child(ren). Parents are a child’s number 1 teacher. Memories
created and shared are the best memories ever.

Due to an inventory oversight, the lunch entree for September 30th of a corn dog will be swapped out with next week's entree of chicken nuggets. The rest of the lunch of those two meals are identical. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Don't forget that Friday is pickup day for the school fundraiser items. These items can not be taken on a bus, so please make arrangements to be at the school to pick them up.
The NC Sports Boosters would like to thank the students, parents, staff, community members and local businesses who contributed in any way to our recent hog roast.

Whether you sold tickets, donated a dessert, worked at the event, donated financially or just came and enjoyed an evening with friends, it all added up to a successful night. Thank you to all!
