BARYNYA Performs at NES

On Thursday, the NES community was fortunate to have the cultural enrichment program BARYNYA preform two shows.  The program of Russian traditional dancing, singing, and music was enjoyed by all.  The show included the Dancing Bear Mascot as well as Ukrainian, Gypsy, Jewish and Russian music and dance.  Live music was performed on the accordion-garmoshka, guitar and balalaika and performers showcased several traditional costumes with many costume changes.  Students participated in a short Russian dance (in their seats, standing up) as well as a Russian alphabet lesson.   Thank you NES PTA for sponsoring such a wonderful event!

Wingmasters Visits NES

Last Friday, the NES first graders learned about some of our fine feathered friends when Wingmasters came to talk about the screech owl, the barred owl, the peregrine falcon, the great horned owl, and the northern saw whet owl.  Students got to see each of these wonderful birds and hear about their habitats and behaviors.  The students voted that their favorite was the smallest of all, the  northern saw whet owl.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back!  We hope you all had a relaxing and rejuvenating winter break.  The students are back at work and have settled back into the routine nicely.  It is wonderful to hear about all of the exciting adventures NES students have had over the break.  Thank you to all who helped get everyone ready to get back into the routine.
