Principal’s Message
Dear Narcoossee Elementary School Families,
I can’t believe we have already come to the close of our first quarter! Time is flying, and we are so proud of the wonderful start our Bear Cubs have had. Each day, our students bring so much energy, excitement, and enthusiasm to NCES. Their smiles, curiosity, and willingness to learn motivate us each and every day!
As we continue the second quarter, I want to share some important reminders and upcoming events with you. First, I ask you to please continue to have conversations around our Cub Code expectations of leadership, kindness and academic focus with your child(ren). Our C.U.B. Code includes the following:
Choose Leadership- Our Bear Cubs must be proactive, make good choices, and put first things first.
Understand Others -Our Bear Cubs must listen, be kind, and work together for the success of our school.
Be Your Best - Our Bear Cubs must learn, grow, and recharge when they need to.
We have had an exciting beginning to the school year, and we are looking forward to an even stronger second quarter. As a Leader in Me school, our grade levels will be implementing their service projects or "Give Backs". The "Give Back" lesson in Franklin Covey’s Leader in Me curriculum focuses on community service, active citizenship, and helping others. What a great time to begin that process with a Thanksgiving food drive initiated by our very own 5th grade students. Giving back ties closely to habits like Think Win-Win (finding ways to benefit the community alongside oneself) and Synergize (working together with others to create a larger positive impact). Our 1st grade "Give Back" will be a "Veteran's Day" honor ceremony with service project elements such as specialized presentations to veterans who are represented in our school and school families. Finally, to end the quarter and semester, we will have an exciting Reindeer Run event in December, Together, we can continue to create a school community where every leader feels supported, challenged, celebrated, and ready to learn. Have an amazing second quarter!
Sincerely,
Dr. Nadia Winston, Principal
