Staff Appreciation Week Success!

A big “Thank You!” to Melissa Hornyak and Katie Evans for all of their time, creativity and hard work in organizing a terrific week for our teachers and staff!

We also want to extend a big “Thank You!” to all of our families who sent in notes and donated for gift cards. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide ALL of our staff notes from the students, as well as gift cards to local restaurants. They were all very appreciative, and it was great to be able to support local businesses at the same time!

Mental Health Awareness Month

More than one year into the pandemic, recognition and practice of wellness is at the forefront for our students, families, staff, and community. As NA continues to meet the needs of our community, we are taking a careful look at mental health and wellness.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, select staff members have volunteered to share their expertise, experiences, and tips for normalizing discussions around mental health. Be on the lookout for weekly updates throughout May and help us educate, support, and fight the stigma for all. To access materials for Week 3, “Train Your Brain,” visit our Mental Health and Wellness website. Previous weekly materials continue to remain accessible to all.
