A big NES thank-you goes out to County Council Chair, Liz Walsh for joining us for such an informative evening March 25th! For those of you who are interested in the discussion but couldn't make it, you can view the recording here. Read on to learn how you can get involved with county processes that directly effect our school system.

Get your running and walking shoes ready! Running Brook Elementary and Northfield Elementary are uniting to host a Virtual 5k and Fun Run. We are excited for the opportunity to get outside, get in some steps, and unite our school communities. The Virtual 5k and Fun Run will commence on Sunday, May 16 and end on Monday, May 31 at midnight. This event is free.

It’s time to treat yourself or someone special in your life to something just for you. The PTA is organizing a one hour Terrarium Therapy Virtual Night Out. Find a quiet spot in your house (a backyard deck or screened in porch are great options), a beverage of choice, and give yourself the opportunity to relax and connect virtually with others through nature. Join us Friday May 7th from 8-9pm to create a 6" rustic box. This makes a great Mother’s Day gift! Registration is open until Thursday, April 22 to allow for items to be packed and shipped before the event so if you're interested don't delay. 

The NES PTA Virtual Parent Group is a group run by parents, for parents. Our goal is to strengthen the NES community through shared conversation. We meet the 3rd Thursday of each month from 7:30pm-8:30pm. This group is open to all NES parents, caregivers, and grown-up family members. Register today to receive Zoom login information.

The NES PTA is required to review and update its bylaws every three years and submit an updated version to Maryland PTA. The General Membership meeting to approve the proposed revisions to the bylaws is scheduled for Thursday, January 21st at 5:00p.m. in the Northfield Elementary parking lot. The revised bylaws are posted here for review.
