Covid-19 has made such an impact on our lives.Kids have experienced many changes from remote school to not seeing family and friends to wearing masks.  All of the uncertainty can be very stressful.  I try to teach the kids about MINDFULNESS.  By learning coping skills, kids can help themselves to feel calm and peaceful which will help them to make better decisions when they are upset.  Some things that help are deep breathing, calm music, coloring, etc.  You can find some great mindfulness videos on Youtube.com. Another helpful website is Mindyeti.com.

Counselors' Corner is new this year.  The counselors, social worker and SEL teachers at NFE will provide needed supplies for families during food distribution. We will be set up once per nine weeks.  Some items that will be available are backpacks, coats, hygiene bags, school supplies, books and Amy's Attic slips.  If you can't make it to Counselors' Corner, please reach out by email and we will do our best to fulfill your need.

We are a Leader In Me school.  The students learn about the 7 Habits based on Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

I love going into the classroom to do activities with the children.  Topics include friendship, personal space, feelings, bullying etc.  This is a picture of an activity about Community Leaders.
