Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day!

At NDUE, our paraprofessionals are the heart of support and the hands that help guide our students every day.

They work behind the scenes and beside our teachers—offering patience, encouragement, and steady support that makes a lasting difference. Whether they’re helping in the classroom, on the playground, or anywhere in between, their impact is felt in every corner of our school.

Thank you to our incredible paras for your dedication, your kindness, and the countless ways you help our students grow and succeed. We are so grateful for you! #LEADlikeaGriffin

Not one but THREE NDUE fifth graders are state champions! Elainah Davis, Lilliana Mendez, and Annaliah Molinas dominated this past weekend at USA State Wrestling. Congratulations girls! We are proud of you!

We can’t wait to do it again next year! #LEADlikeaGriffin
