Cultural Enrichment at NES

On Wednesday, the NES community was fortunate to have Tony Vacca, Abdou Sarr, and Massamba Diop visit and share music and dancing from Senegal.  It was part of the Sengeal America Project that brings two cultures together to share music and grow global awareness.  Students in grades 4, 5, and 6 attended workshops during the morning to learn either drums or dance.  In the afternoon, they performed on stage!  Everyone did a wonderful job and learned a little about West African culture.  

Check out the fifth grade preparing for the big show... 

 

Thank you to the NES PTA for sponsoring this wonderful event!

We know what we are thankful for...



We want to thank Governor's Academy for the very generous donation of six SMARTBoards to Newbury Elementary School.  The SMARTBoards will be placed into classrooms and will be used daily to enhance the curriculum and help ready our students for the 21st century. 
We at NES are so very fortunate to have friends and neighbors like Governor's Academy!
