Congratulations to our Sixth Grade Center singers! Last night’s choral concert was a wonderful showcase of student talent and teamwork! Students sang "Alama Terra," "Afternoon on a Hill," and "Amani Utupe (Grant Us Peace, Give Us Courage)," and the SGC Ringers wowed the crowd with "Freedom March," and "Salty Popcorn," to name a few.
BRAVO on a stellar spring performance SGC!

School Spirit is always in the air at Neidig Elementary. This past month, Neidig students had a fun-filled spirit week, where students had the chance to dress like their favorite teacher, and teachers joined in the fun by dressing like students.

One of the biggest hits of the day.... multiple "Mr. Godshalks" who came to school, while Mr. Godshalk dressed up like a student himself!

What a fun, memorable day for our students! Thank you to our creative staff and volunteers for all you do to make school extra fun!

On Wednesday, May 6th, families, coaches, and teammates celebrated our 3 graduating seniors on the Boys Varsity Volleyball team —

Vadym Mazurak
James Conner
and Matt Hudson.

Congratulations, gentlemen! We can't wait to learn where your next chapters take you and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Thank you for your leadership, dedication, and contributions to the program!

“I want to celebrate this teacher (Mr. Amen) because he helped me and many others with struggles and through dark times in our lives. Even when he’s not having a good day himself, he never fails to make others smile. He is a very smart, kind-hearted, and straightforward person, and we all need someone like that in our lives. Anyone who has had his class would say that it was probably the best class they’ve been in because he always finds a way to make it interesting. I thank him for always being there for his students, whom he doesn’t just think of as his students but as a family as well. Whoever is lucky enough to have him in their lives should cherish the moments they have with him because time goes by faster than you think. Thank you for being you.”

-Mileiry, 10th Grade

When he explains a math lesson, I don’t feel rushed or overwhelmed; I actually feel like I understand it. He helped me a lot with test anxiety, and making the big tests into little chunks genuinely helped me academically. He is the best math teacher in the world, and he helped me like math a lot because I used to hate it a ton. So thank you, Mr. Carty!”

You may even see it posted here, like this kind message for Ms. Reilly from one of her 1st-grade parents:

“We were so lucky our daughter got Ms. Reilly this year. She runs a tight ship while also being so kind and compassionate to her students. Our daughter struggles socially and with staying on task in the classroom. Ms. Reilly always pulls her aside to talk her through situations, which is the best way for our daughter to truly learn how to handle them in the future. When you know your child struggles and will need a lot of redirection, it’s hard not to wonder if anyone can see all the good things about your child. Ms. Reilly “sees” our daughter: her strengths, her struggles, when she’s overwhelmed, what works for her and what doesn’t, her sense of humor, when she’s off, or something might be wrong, how to keep her engaged, and what makes her tick. Ms. Reilly has been amazing with our daughter, and we are so thankful for her.”

THANK YOU, MS. REILLY, FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!
