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!

This week, we want to thank our amazing Assistant Principal - Dr. Monica Kenyon!

From mentoring future school leaders to fostering inclusivity in our school communities, we are grateful for your dedication to our students, staff, and parents. Thank you for shaping our school culture and fortifying our entire school community from the inside out!

Today, and every day, we thank Dr. Kenyon for her unwavering commitment to our Neidig Elementary!

Unique. Kind. Inclusive. That’s the Neidig way. April is Autism Acceptance Month! We’re celebrating neurodiversity with a full week of spirit days and a focus on community and kindness.

“Meet The Instruments Night” and parent meeting will be held Tuesday April 21st from 6-7:00pm at Strayer Middle School. This event is for any student who might like to learn a musical instrument next year in the band and orchestra program! (Current band and orchestra students do not need to attend this event unless you are considering learning a new instrument.)

At "Meet the Instruments Night" your child will get to try out their top 3 instrument choices before you enroll in the program and get an instrument for them. Parents will also learn more about the QCSD band and orchestra program, get to meet the teachers, learn about instrument rentals, and ask any questions.

You must pre-register for this event, so we will know our anticipated attendance and can provide the correct amount of supplies (mouthpieces, reeds, etc.).

Please click the link below to register:

*Registering for “Meet The Instruments Night” does not enroll your child in the program. It simply allows the students an opportunity to try out the instruments before you rent, purchase, or borrow an instrument.

If you have questions, please contact your school’s music teacher. Visit qcsd.org/music and click the CONTACT page to find their contact information.

There’s an instrument for everyone, we just need to find the right fit for your child!
