NSEE will be taking part in bullying awareness week which is held Nov. 13-19th. The theme this year is “STAND UP”. Friday November 18th will be BLUE FRIDAY. The color blue represents Former Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in establishing United Nations Peacekeepers, who wear blue as a symbol of peace as they perform their work around the world.
As the Christmas season approaches, NSEE will again be holding a food drive in support of the local Food Banks.
In addition to helping support the Food Banks, each food item donated validates a ballot for a chance to win prizes provided by District 16 for our school - the more donations, the more chances to win !
There will be three draws for an iPad for the student's classroom!!
Although there are suggestions for each week, any food item is welcome.

North & South Esk Elementary students celebrated Halloween day in a big way this year.
The Halloween Costume Parade is a always a big hit. Each year the costumes become more creative.
Our students love to participate in the parade as they march around the gym displaying their favorite costumes to parents and community.
Special songs were performed by the kindergarten students, grade 5 students sang in French and the whole school danced to the "Monster Mash".
The staff of NSEE surprised students and visitors with their rendition of the classic "Thriller" dance.
Halloween Parade will begin at 8:45 on Monday, October 31st. Parents are welcome to attend.
Students should not wear full face masks, make-up must be applied at home. Students will be asked to remove their costumes by recess. We ask that students do not bring toy items such as guns, swords, etc.
The students of North & South Esk Elementary participated in a coloring contest with the Red Bank Veterinary Clinic. Each participating student submitted a colored picture that was displayed in the clinic. Students selected by the clinic staff, were awarded cash prizes of $25 (Marlie Astle), $15 (Danielle Sherrard) and $10 (Amber Allison). There were also three honorable mentions: Justin Matchett, Derek Mullin and Taya Kingston-Martin.
The contest was started by the clinic for students to raise awareness of their pet’s health and care.
Our Home & School Membership drive is going well. We have had over 25 families join our membership....Remember when you sign up before October 15th your name is entered into a draw for a new digital camera. Also, the student that you represent will have their name entered into a draw for a free movie pass (for 2) to Empire Theatre.
NSEE if proud to have the following people as part of our PSSC for the 2011-2012 school year.
