On Nov. 9, 2022, NCES held a Veterans Day Assembly to honor those who have served their country. We would like to say, "Thank you," to all of our veterans and their families who attended this event at our school. We had a great program with a lot of people involved with making it successful. Check out the pictures with our Veterans Day Assembly program and various candid pictures. Another post will follow this one to share more pictures, with special thanks to Mrs. Kreps for taking these for NCES! Thank you to everyone involved with and/or attending this special event for our veterans.

Here are a few more pics of "Fire Escape Plan" Contest winners and Mrs. Fink and winning Kindergarten class. Thank you to NCES students, staff, and families who got involved and to our Nauvoo Fire Dept. for their partnership and support!
NCES partnered with Nauvoo Fire Dept. to do a "Fire Escape Plan" Contest. Over 60 NCES students chose to participate! This contest achieved the Fire Dept's goal of encouraging more families to plan/prep for fire emergencies. These NCES students were selected as individual winners: PreK-Quinn Dickerson, Kindergarten-Canyon Huston, 1st Grade-Maisie Grange, 2nd Grade-Craig Bodily, 3rd Grade-Mesa Kohl, 4th Grade-Miles Aitchison, 6th Grade-Kat Aitchison. The winners and their families got breakfast at the Nauvoo Fire Station and after the winners got a ride to school in a fire truck. Also, Mrs. Fink's Kindergarten Class had the most participation with 100% of the students participating! They got a pizza party and visit from Marshall. Thank you to Chief Gallaher and Nauvoo Fire Dept. for partnering with NCES students and families for this cool community event. Check out pics and more pics will be posted for this event and the people involved.
The boys basketball game tonight in Quincy is at 5:30, not the previously announced 6pm.
Reminder:
No school tomorrow in honor of Veterans day. Enjoy the weekend and we will be back in session Monday the 14th.
Don't forget, there is no school today for Election Day. We will be back in session tomorrow, and then will have Friday off for Veteran's day.
The Hancock County Health Department is sponsoring a CPR class for 12-18 year olds during holiday break. This is a great opportunity for teens who babysit. The training is free, but space is limited and pre-registration by December 14th is required.
The training isn't scheduled until December 22, but we wanted to give you a heads up to allow time to mark your calendars.
