Good day out there, South Nelson community.

Thank you to all of our staff and families for getting through the bottleneck of the first week of school startup!  So sweet to see the Kindergarten children and their families yesterday and our Friday Fun Day was a blast.  I expect most went home tired at the end of the day from all the fun.  We are planning to do more multi-age actitivities this year than we have been able to over the past couple years as we focus on this school & community-wide goal that we developed in May.

• Students will develop further awareness of - and take responsibility for - our social, physical, and natural environments by working independently and collaboratively for the benefit of others, our community, and the environment.
