This week is National School Psychologist Week! Please join me in extending a THANK YOU to our School Psychologist, Chrissy Teora, for all that she does for students, teachers, and families in Nelson County. Chrissy spends a great deal of time administering assessments, analyzing student performance data, and guiding teams in determining how to best deliver services to our students. Additionally, she plays an integral role in identifying the Specially Designed Instruction that our students require. She furthermore guides teams in ensuring we meet timelines and supports us in ensuring all necessary components are complete. She remains calm and un-frazzled in tough situations and she is a true asset to our division. Regardless of the number of items on her to-do list, she readily stops what she is doing to meet the needs of her colleagues and students. Please join us in acknowledging Chrissy's contributions to NCPS.

Five NCHS students have art on display in the Daura Museum of Art's selective "High School Invitational Art Exhibit." Congrats to Audrey Watts, Lailee Pollard, Natalie Rivera, Emily Johnson, and Mary Jo Allen. The show is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tues.-Sat. at the University of Lynchburg's Dillard Fine Art Bldg (in the "Lobby Gallery" on the lower level). The exhibit is also a competition, and the winner(s) will be announced on the show's last day, Thursday, November 14th during a closing event from 6 p.m. to 7. Nine schools were invited and, in all, there are around 50 top-level high school artworks in the show. The venue is around 45 minutes from NCHS. Here's a GoogleMap of the simplest route: tinyurl.com/mapNCHStoUL Details about the exhibit and some other NCHS art activities are in an article in "Nelson Expression" online here: https://nelsonexpression.blogspot.com/2024/10/we-are-champions.html #OneNelson #NelsonExpression

On October 21, 2024, NCPS Nutrition Department got the opportunity to participate in hands-on training with two chefs from the Brigaid Group. We received a grant to cover the charge of the training from Team Nutrition Readiness and Retention Training Program. The two Chefs concentrated on teaching skills in scratch cooking, presentation and culturally diverse menu items.
