📚✨ We are so excited to kick off Virginia Reads One Book on March 2nd! ✨📚
From March 2nd – March 20th, our school community will be diving into the classic story of friendship, courage, and kindness in Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White. Together, we’ll follow the unforgettable journey of Wilbur and Charlotte as we celebrate the power of words and the importance of caring for one another. 🕸️🐷
📦 Be on the lookout! Books, a reading calendar with our schedule, and an informational packet will be coming home with students this week so your family can follow along each night.
Reading together as a school—and as families at home—helps build strong readers and even stronger connections. We can’t wait to share special activities, discussions, and moments inspired by this timeless story.
Mrs. Williams will be posting the videos of her reading the chapters on our Website. Go check it out: https://www.nucps.net/o/nes/article/2737878
Get ready to spin a web of reading fun! 💛

No need to wait for the morning report—the snow is coming down fast and furious, and Frank says that’s definitely not the kind of "zoomies" we want on the roads tomorrow!
To keep all our kittens and humans safe, Northumberland County Public Schools will be CLOSED tomorrow, February 23.
Frank suggests you follow his lead: find a warm sunny spot (or a cozy blanket), stay off the icy paws-ways, and enjoy the day off!
Stay warm and stay safe, Indians!
🐾 Frank the Cat here.
I’m still watching the weather closely.
We’ll have a two-hour delay tomorrow, Monday, February 23, so we can assess conditions in the morning.
I’ll let you know by 7:00 AM if a full closure is needed.
Yes, I’m watching the weather very closely from my window.
If we need to call a delay or closure, you’ll hear from us by 5:00 AM.
Until then, I’ll remain on high alert… near the snacks, and my blanket.
