Ms. Hawkins' 6th-grade advisory class has to participate in a Valentine's Day Escape Room to receive their Valentine's Day treat! They had to work in groups to solve clues to unlock their gifts! They had to read clues, solve math problems, and perform science experiments to move on to the next clue.
Preschoolers spread joy today by giving Valentines to people at school who help them. Students made them during library time after reading Mr. Goat’s Valentine last week. #LevelUpRailers.
Thank you to all who supported the Crush Fundraiser! We hope everyone enjoyed their delivery -- Happy Valentine's Day. NHS appreciates your support.
