One of our very own 7th graders just won Jr. Miss Newell Labor Day, this past weekend. Shealynn, we are so proud of you!! Congratulations.
Ms. Pickett's 4th grade class from 2024-2025 wrote letters to the President of the US. Over the summer, Ms. Picket received a packet from the White House addressed to her, and her fourth-grade class. Each student got a letter from the President, as did Ms. Pickett. What a wonderful opportunity!

Under the Covers Book Club is excited to announce our new book we will be reading! American Black Widow by Gregg Oleson is a psychological thriller. It takes a deep dive into the chilling story of Sharon Nelson, a woman who led a life marred by tragedies, deceit, and the mysterious deaths of her two husbands. Gregg Olsen's book unfolds the complex web of Sharon's lifelong struggles, stemming from her restrictive upbringing and traumatic experiences, as well as her relentless pursuit of wealth and infidelity in relationships.
The summary chronicles Sharon's confessions to her role in orchestrating the murders, and the profound impact her actions had on her family and the broader community. It offers an intriguing look into the life of a woman whose dark choices and unrelenting schemes culminated in profound betrayal and heartbreak.

Our next meeting will be held Wednesday, September 3rd @ 5pm in the NU Library. We hope you can make it!

Some of the proceeds from our book fair last school year was used to purchase more books for the library. Thanks for all the families and students that support the library! The theme this year for the library is Joyful Reading. We all hope you are able to find time during your busy days to read together or find that slice of solitude to read independently. Take a look at the book list of new arrivals that were purchased with book fair dollars!
