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.
