During the month of March, NAC Elementary students have participated in the thrilling 4th annual Bobcat March Madness Tournament of Books! This year's theme is World Cup soccer and the competition between books is intense! As we enter the final round of competition, we are down to the last two challengers: ​"Strega Nona" and "A Werewolf Named Oliver James." ​The final, championship round will be held on Monday, March 25. Ask the elementary student in your life which book they will be voting for and encourage them to dress up in the color or costume that supports their book champion on Monday. May the best book win!

Sweet, sweet, second grade science! The NAC Elementary STEM program was the happy recipient this year of the Agricultural Literacy Grant provided by New York Agriculture in the Classroom. This grant allowed us to purchase equipment and books to support our second graders as they learn the math and science involved in maple sugaring, as well as investigate the history and importance of maple sugaring in our community. A huge thank you to Darrell Reyell for sharing his expertise again this year.
