Thank you to all those who dressed for Heritage Day last Friday! Let’s continue celebrating our beautifully diverse community at Northeast all month long. You are invited to send in pictures and home-made posters for our cultural bulletin board that teach us about YOUR heritage. Tell us about your customs, favorite foods, traditional music, favorite celebrations, and traditional clothing. We want to fill our board with images that represent our community. Please feel free to send these posters and pictures to school with your child all month long. Email [email protected] with any questions. Thank you in advance for your participation and contributions!

The Northeast Holiday Giving Tree is full. Thank you to all those who selected a student this year! Collection boxes will be set-up outside the front of the school building beginning Monday, December 13th. Please deliver your wrapped presents, labeled with the student number, any day during that week. All gifts should be delivered to school by Friday, December 17th. Thank you for helping to spread some holiday cheer!

This Friday is HERITAGE DAY!! December 3rd is the first Friday of the month, which means it’s a special, themed Spirit Friday! Students are encouraged to wear a color, pattern or material that represents their heritage.

But before you leave the house, take a picture, or have your child snap a selfie and send it to the Northeast Yearbook Committee at [email protected] Be sure to send pictures as “full” or “large” size images to help us document these fun memories of the year.

The Yearbook Committee is collecting pictures of current Northeast 5th graders from school-related events that happened during their Kindergarten through 4th grade years. Some suggested events are: Halloween parades, classroom parties, ice-cream socials, daughter/son events, Field Days, Learning to Look, Talent Shows, musical performances, Northeast Art Shows, first day of school, or any fun candid photos of Northeast fifth graders when they were in kindergarten through 4th grade. Please email pictures as “large” or “full size” images to [email protected]. Be sure to include “Through the Years” in the subject line.

Deadline to submit photos is Friday, January 14th. Thank you for your help!

Help spread some holiday cheer by delivering a gift to a Northeast student this year. You can select a child from the list using this sign-up sheet. All gifts should be delivered to school by Friday, December 17th. See the sign-up for further details.

Thank you for your generosity, and Happy Holidays!
