| Show Your School Spirit!
| Every year the students at Nelson Elementary School compete to have their drawing adorn the school's T-shirt for the year.
This year's winner is 2nd grader Fallon Smith, daughter of Joy and Peter Smith. Of course, the theme this year has to do with gardening! And Fallon's imagination really shines through. Congratulations, Fallon!
Fallon's design will adorn a T-shirt, either a short-sleeved T-shirt or long-sleeved T-shirt in sizes children's small through large, or long-sleeved or short-sleeved T-shirt for adults in sizes small through 2X. The shirts are yellow with green lettering.
You can download an order form here: Order Form
The T-shirts cost $10.00 for short-sleeves, or $15.00 for long-sleeved. |
| Weekly Community Quote | "While the spirit of neighborliness was important on the frontier because neighbors were so few, it is even more important now because our neighbors are so many."

| These Houses Need a Home! |  Recently Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Castor visited the children at the Nelson Elementary School to help them with a wood-working project. Under their watchful guidance, the students were able to construct many beautiful (and now colorful) birdhouses.
Now the students would like to send them out into the community. Since they are so beautiful, they are hoping to have them used in places that lots of people (as well as birds) will see.
 Do you have a home for a free and colorful birdhouse?

DATE TO REMEMBER: The annual Nelson School Science Fair will be held on May 5th. Young scientists in grades 3 through 6 all have been working really hard this year on their projects! Come and see all of the exhibits beginning at 6 pm at the school. |
