It's Career Week at NAC Elementary! It's been a week full of interesting presenters sharing with our students all about the jobs they enjoy. Zowie Auger of the Her~petology reptile show brought some of her amazing creepy-crawlies to teach us about snakes and reptiles. Dr. Michael Davey explained all about modern dentistry, with live demonstrations of some of his technical equipment. Author and Illustrator Brian Yanish taught us about creating stories and bringing our ideas to life to share with readers - and he even personally signed books for more than 67 students! The NYS Police brought equipment and dogs to talk to students about the many jobs that Troopers do to help us. Thank you to all of the professionals who have given our students new ways to dream and plan for their futures!

STREGA NONA by Tomie dePaola! Congratulations to us for a month of good books and friendly competition - and thanks to everyone who participated and made our 4th annual book tournament so much fun! Keep reading!
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.
