Exciting Assembly Tomorrow at the Elementary! 🎉
We are thrilled to welcome NED’s Resiliency Ride to our school tomorrow! This engaging character education program focuses on three powerful life lessons:
Never give up
Encourage others
Do your best
Through storytelling, magic, humor, and yo-yo tricks, students will learn the importance of resilience and how these skills can make a lasting impact in their lives.
You may have seen the order form for purchasing yo-yos—this is directly connected to the assembly. Students who purchase a yo-yo will have the chance to practice the tricks they learn from NED during the school day.
📌 Reminder: Tomorrow is also an early dismissal day at 11:15 a.m. and lunch will not be served.
We’re excited for this fun and meaningful experience for our students!
