The NMC Pre-K students have been learning about fall and the changing colors of the leaves. Ms. Krom set up an interactive Story Walk at the school using Steve Metzger's book, "We're Going on a Leaf Hunt." Each child was given a leaf bag to collect the four specific leaves from the story: Maple, Hickory, Oak, and Birch.

The class journeyed through the story's imaginary settings, which included climbing a "mountain," going through a "scary forest," jumping on stepping stones over a "waterfall," rowing across a "lake," and running away from a "skunk." Students from the other grades also enjoyed participating in the Story Walk.

The Mount Everett volleyball team is bringing the energy and team spirit to the court every single match! You won't want to miss a moment of the action.

Mark your calendars! Senior Night is next week! Come out and support our amazing seniors. 🏐🎉
