SCIENCE FAIR – It’s that time of year again! The 13th annual NDPA Science Fair. We have quite a reputation for being one of the best, as our performance at Weber State University showed last year. If your child loves science, please encourage them to enter. More information is available in the registration packet at this link: http://northdavisprep.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/2017-2018-Science-Fair-Packet.pdf or ask Ms. Adams for more details, radams@northdavisprep.org.

Find sponsors who will pay you to take the plunge and that money can go toward your Spain Study Abroad now – no matter what grade you’re in!

JR. HIGH YEARBOOK COVER CONTEST – Attention all Jr. high artists!! We are having our yearly Yearbook Art Cover Contest for grades 7-8! We would love to have your entry in our contest. Please include the school year 2017-2018 and our school’s name in your design. You are welcome to use any art medium for your entry, it must be at least 8.5 X 11 in. and portrait style. The deadline is before the Christmas Break so get your creative vibes going! Please turn all entries in to the Jr, High office. Artwork will be returned.

JR HIGH YEARBOOK is looking for 10 year Veterans of NDPA! Has your child been roaming the halls of NDPA since Kindergarten? We would like to highlight them in the yearbook! Please bring your child’s Kindergarten picture to the office to be scanned for our “Then and Now” page. It’s fun to see how much they’ve grown and we’d like to have everyone’s photo on the page. If you have the class photo, bring it as well!

Hey, Shutterbugs!! We need your pictures for the yearbook! We are looking for any photos of our school activities that you have on your phone or camera.

  • download the HJeShare app from the app store (black with a green arrow),
  • go to www.hjeshare.com code 1718 and upload your pics to our website
  • or email to evavricka@northdavisprep.org

Show us what you have, we’d love to see your work!!

VOLUNTEERING AND ASSOCIATED HOURS – We are not using signup.com this year. POET will be using the new RAPTOR system that the school has for Checking In/Out. Until that is available, we are collecting volunteers the old fashioned way with the volunteer interest form at the POET desk or emailing POET members directly. PLEASE KEEP TRACK OF YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL HOURS UNTIL WE CAN USE THE RAPTOR SYSTEM. There are lots of opportunities to volunteer, so please read the Qué Pasa announcements that are sent out every Friday to your email and also on Facebook. Thank you!

IN THE CLASSROOM: CCA – Family Consumer Science in the Classroom: The shorter week provided the perfect opportunity to execute a Family Consumer Science lesson. The students are using Mod Podge to create holiday decorative candles. The lesson included creative thinking, sequencing, following directions, and entrepreneurial opportunities.

BARNES & NOBLE DAY “I am Thankful for…” WINNERS and THANK YOU! – Many, many thanks to our wonderful volunteers who helped make our B&N Day a HUGE success.
