Tomorrow is a FUN and Busy Day. 1) It's PTO Pizza Day. PTO will sell tickets for pizza for those who have not prepaid in the morning. We will not have regular concessions. 2.) It is also incentive club day and the last day for your student to meet their 1st 9 weeks Zearn and AR goals. 3.) The HOCO parade will start at 9:30. Parents can view the parade from Griffin Stadium and are not allowed to mix in with our student body. Please send a small grocery sack with your student to collect all their throws. 4) Attendance Matters! We want your child with us all day every school day. We have lots of fun and learning planned! Geaux Griffins!
Happy National Custodian Day to the best crew out there!
Today we honor the hardworking individuals who help keep NDUE clean, safe, and running smoothly every single day.
Our custodians go above and beyond—often behind the scenes—and we are so grateful for their dedication, care, and pride in our school.
Thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and school community. NDUE wouldn’t be the same without you! #LEADlikeaGriffin

Mrs. Warren’s friends have been learning all about the importance of cotton by reading nonfiction texts and watching informational videos. They have discovered that cotton has many uses. Not only is cotton used to make many clothing items that we wear daily, but it is also used to make many of the foods we enjoy eating, like PRINGLES! :) #leadlikeagriffin
