PreK-4 students celebrated their 50th day in 1950s style with a sock hop after our fabulous Friday assembly. We had a fun teacher and student game of musical chairs scavenger hunt during Fabulous Friday.








NDLE was thrilled to recognize Memphis as our student representative who truly exemplifies being a Team Collaborator, and the perfect Portrait of a Graduate. She is a natural leader, one who not only guides others but also listens. Her classmates look to her for direction because she can work with anyone, help anyone, and make everyone feel valued.

🎉 Birthday & Holiday Treat Guidelines 🎉
We love celebrating our students’ special days! 🥳 To help keep everyone safe and make celebrations easy for our teachers, please remember:
✨ All birthday and holiday treats must be store-bought with a visible ingredient list for the teacher. This helps us protect students with food allergies.
✨ Treats should be individually portioned. Please avoid sending whole cakes or items that need to be cut and served.
🎂 When are treats served?
Birthday treats are shared at the end of the lunch period, so please keep them simple and easy to distribute.
✅ School-Approved Examples:
Store-bought bakery items: cupcakes, cookies, brownie bites, or donuts 🍪🧁🍩
Individually packaged snacks: Rice Krispie Treats, Little Debbie Cakes, Chips Ahoy, Oreos, fruit snacks, etc. 🎒
Thank you, parents and families, for helping us keep celebrations safe, fun, and stress-free for everyone! 💕
