 THANK YOU PARENTS!
 
A BIG thank you to all parents who came to the Set-Up Day.  It is a tremendous help having everyone roll up their sleeves and prepare the school for our kids.

 Recycling Center Update
 
Recycle
 
As many of you know, the NPNS community recycles useable items that the children use towards various craft projects. Thanks to all of you who have already looked at the list of desired items, which can be found on the web site. Link to list of Recycled Items 
 
There are a few items that the teachers are particularly in need of as the school year begins:
 
    * Glass baby food jars (Stage 3/large jars only)
    * Tennis ball containers
    * Sea glass
    * Small tiles
    * Cardboard cup/coffee holders (e.g., McDonalds or Starbucks)
    * Bulk fabric and/or tulle
 
Please drop off all recyclables in the top right hand recycling cabinet, located in the downstairs gym. This cabinet will be labeled and remain unlocked. We will sort through and put away the recyclables once a week. As a reminder, in order to maintain NPNS as a nut free environment, please do not bring in any nuts (acorns, chestnuts, etc.) from your nature collecting. 
Thank you in advance for all your help in making this a successful recycling year!
