CONGRATULATIONS to our 5th grade GRADUATES! We celebrated them with a touching graduation ceremony where the teachers and students provided encouraging adjectives to describe each student. Then Sam Bass recited a poem he wrote and Addie Coombs-Broekema sang beautifully the song, In the Middle of Starting Over. Both were great tributes reflecting on their 5th grade year and their upcoming transition into middle school. At the end of the ceremony, everyone there enjoyed a video recap of the year put together by Mrs. Konop. Many thanks to Mr. Lohr and Mrs. Konop for their outstanding dedication to our 4th and 5th grade students! Following the graduation ceremony was an all-school Family Ice Cream Social last night! It was a great time of celebration and community for all NCS families as we celebrated not only our 5th graders but also a successful year at NCS for all of our students!
