NDLE is limbo-ing into the weekend with a Fabulous Friday assembly! We celebrated first graders who have already met their words per minute goal for the year and this week’s Griffin Leaders. Surprise! The kids won the limbo contest against the teachers! We have these assemblies once a month to celebrate our students academic achievements and for our entire school to come together for some fun. We are grateful to have a gym that can accommodate all of our students and teachers.











We are in need of new or gently used boy's uniform bottoms in sizes 4-8. You may donate items in the office or send them to school in your child's backpack.


Here are some glasses in lost and found. Let us know if you know the owner.


Kona Ice will be at NDLE on Friday, January 24. Students can purchase a snow cone after lunch for $3. This is a fundraiser for our school. Please send money in a labelled envelope or ziplock bag with child's name, teacher's name and Kona Ice.

A big THANK YOU to our NDLE Booster Club for purchasing new P.E. Equipment! All of our 500 students visit P.E. and use their equipment which means a lot of wear and tear happens. Thank you to all of the parents who support our Booster Club's fundraisers, like Concessions and T-shirt sales, to make positive things like this happen! #DreamBelieveAchieve #PositiveCaringCulture
