NSEE recently received an outdoor shed (12’ x 24’) built by the skilled hands of Mr. Richard Gionet and his students at James M. Hill. The purpose of the shed is to house our newly acquired mountain bikes, snowshoes, skis, and various outdoor equipment. This will be beneficial for student’s health and wellness in a time where physical fitness is of the utmost importance.   A big thank you to the Home and School for their support on this important project!!

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.        Date Suggested Items Week of November 3rd Kraft Dinner or a loonie Week of November 10th cheese whiz, jam or can of soup

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.
