We had another special guest in PK today! A huge thank you to Ms. Tonette from the Stonewall Public Library for stopping by to share some wonderful stories with Mrs. Junkin and Mrs. Morgan’s classes.
The students loved every minute of their Read Across America Week surprise! There’s nothing quite like a good book to spark a big imagination. ✨

Time to buy a 2026 NDLE Yearbook! All yearbook sales are online. Our yearbooks cost $42 with all fees included. Our yearbooks are made with the company Pictavo and managed through Cowen Photography. Our yearbooks will be distributed to students before the last day of school in May 2026.
Our school receives a portion of the proceeds for yearbook and any Cowen photography picture sales. Essentially yearbooks and picture sales are fundraisers for our school. In order to maximize the school's earnings, we will not be ordering any extra yearbooks to be sold at the end of the year. In other words, if you want a yearbook, order one through the website before March 31. If you need help with ordering or have any questions, please email tara.brawley@desotopsb.com.
You can scan the QR code provided in this post or go to the online store with this link https://www.buytheyearbook.com/en/
Business or personal ads may also be purchased on the website. Here are the total prices for business or personal ads. Completed Ads are due March 5th!!!!!
Quarter page ($26.25)
Half page ($52.50)
Whole page ($105)
Parents can design their own ad on the website or you can send the pictures and a message to tara.brawley@desotopsb.com and I will create an ad for you.
All orders are due March 31, 2026.
