FIRST ANNUAL PAJAMA JAM
WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!

Nickajack's first family dance party was a blast! 

Pajama Jam, held on Saturday 5/2 in the gym and cafeteria, exceeded all expectations.  Students enjoyed rocking out with the DJ, face painting, getting their hair and makeup done, sports, games, terrific food and more.  It was family friendly fun with something for everyone!  And, best of all, Pajama Jam raised over $6K for NESF!  Many thanks to our sponsors and volunteers!

Saying Goodbye to NESF Founding Board Members

 

Congratulations to Traci Abel and Meredith Yahne for their incredible tenure with NESF

  

This year, the NESF Board says goodbye to two of our founding members, current Treasurer, Traci Abel (left) and current  President, Meredith Yahne (right).  In 2010, Meredith and Traci, along with other parent volunteers and members of the administration, saw the need for a foundation to support technology and curriculum needs.  Since that founding year, funds raised have increased steadily.  The amount of work that they have dedicated to gaining community sponsorship, researching programs, organizing and executing events and running the accounting and logistics of a charitable organization has been tremendous.  NESF says goodbye to these two pioneers and promises to continue to valuable work they started.
