North DeSoto Lower Elementary

🌟 It’s National Teacher Appreciation Week! 🌟
At North DeSoto Lower Elementary, we believe it takes a whole village to help our school thrive — and this week, we’re celebrating every single one of our amazing teachers and staff! Thanks to the incredible efforts of our Booster Club and administration, our team will enjoy special lunches and thoughtful gifts throughout the week as a small token of our deep appreciation. Each day, be sure to visit our Facebook page and website, where we’ll be shining a spotlight on the dedicated teachers and staff teams who pour their hearts into making a difference for our students every day. Let’s come together to show them just how much they mean to us! ❤️

Can you see the finish line?

There are just 3 weeks left of the 2025-26 school year!

When students show up they are able to strengthen friendships, stay on track with school work, build strong habits, and find a passion for learning.

#EveryDayCounts so every Griffin, Tiger, Wolverine, and Panther can keep that energy going and #FinishStrong

🌟 Double Celebration at NDLE! 🌟

This year National School Principal’s Day (May 1st) and National School Lunch Hero Day (the first Friday in May) fall on the same day. We have a very special "double scoop" of gratitude! 🍎🎉
We are sending the biggest hugs and loudest cheers to our wonderful Principal and our amazing Cafeteria Ladies.

✨ To our Principal: Mr. Tabor, thank you for your determined leadership and for the calmness you bring to our campus. Your positive intentions for our school’s future do not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for your support.

✨ To our Lunch Heroes: Thank you for keeping our bellies full and our spirits high. Whether it’s a warm smile, a kind word, or the joyful gospel music playing while you prep breakfast and lunch—you truly make our cafeteria the "heart" of the school! ❤️🎶

We are so lucky to have these heroes in our halls. Help us celebrate them in the comments below! 👇✨
