Our NSE Student Council 2019 is again sponsoring the KCRA 3 Kids Can Food Drive, to support and come together to end child hunger. The can food drive begins October 7 - November 8, 2019. Please bring canned and non-perishable food items to your child's classroom. There will be a donation box located in all the classrooms, and in the office. This is a wonderful give back to our community, and the Twin Lakes Food Bank. Let's show our Cheetah Kindness and Spirit!

PTO TRUNK OR TREAT 2019

October 18, 2019 - 6:00-8:00 PM... This is a fun event every year. As part of the Halloween festivities, the Natoma Station PTO runs Halloween themed games and has wonderful decorations for the Halloween spirit. In addition, parents open up their trunks and provide a chance for our kids to go trick or treating all in one spot. The Dessert Walk is a big hit every year. Admission is free; we just ask that parents bring cookies, cakes or cupcakes that we can give away as prizes. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize for the best trunks, as well. Please click on this link to Sign up Genius to volunteer!.

Make-up Picture Day will be on Wednesday, October 23rd, 8:30 am on the stage in the multipurpose room.

Procedures for signing up to Volunteer FOR 2019-2020!

We would love for new volunteers to fill out a Category 2 volunteer application, with current TB test (and if needed a TB Health Questionnaire and Xray, if you test false positive for TB). Applications will be available in the school office... ***For returning volunteers, with a current Category 2 application on file, please come in and fill out a new application for this school year. I will check against last years to see if everything is up-to-date. If it's not, I will contact you via text and email. All returning volunteers will have their badges pulled until they drop off their new application for 2019/2020. .....When a TB expires, the volunteer will have 2 months to send in their update. This is a fair amount of time, as it will allow you to attend 1-2 District clinics. Please check with Maryann Hewitt, Parent Coordinator, for your most updated contact information. .....Also, new for 2019-2020, Mrs. Hewitt will be sending reminders home with students (in Friday Folders) to let parents know their TB is about to expire. Any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Hewitt. Thank you for volunteering!
