Students Celebrate Teachers
Teachers Appreciation Week was recently celebrated district-wide from May 4-8th!
Our elementary school worked hard with the PTO and Principal by setting up a Padlet for each grade level. Padlet is a social learning platform used to allow communication digitally- pictures, video and text. Students were asked to share a joke, message or picture with their teachers showing them how much they LOVE their teachers. Many students and families sent inspiring messages and thanks. It made the NES teachers week! Click the links below to watch.

NES Students Share Their Artwork
In April, one of the Governor's daily press conferences was focused on building community through art. She encouraged people to create art and share art on social media using the hashtag, #RIArts.
Each week, our elementary school received art submitted from students to share their support for the initiative.
Below, you can click the link to view some of the wonderful artwork from our students, which strengthens our school community while beautifying it. A big thank you to Kristen Bryce for organizing the artwork to share with all of you!

National Junior Honor Society
Congratulations to our 7th and 8th graders who have been accepted into the Mariner Chapter of National Junior Honor Society!
The five pillars of the National Junior Honor Society are character, scholarship, leadership, service, and citizenship and these categories have been considered as the basis for their selection.
Students are not inducted simply because of a high academic average. The National Junior Honor Society strives to recognize the total student: one who excels in all five categories. This honor is a reflection of their scholarship in maintaining a cumulative average of 90 or above, demonstrating a minimum of 8 volunteer or service hours, preserving an excellent record of behavior in school, and participating in leadership roles.
We will recognize their induction in a Presentation of the Inductees which will be shared with students and their families in June.

For the 2020 -2021 school year, French is a new course offering for grade 6 students in addition to the World Language Program. This is the result of our high school and middle school World Language teachers spent time this school year looking at curriculum and offerings for students.
This cohort and future cohorts will now have the opportunity to complete either Spanish I or French I over the two years of grade 7 and 8.
