November 6-10 was National School Psychology Week. We are thankful for the meaningful work that the School Psychologists who support our schools, Chrissy Teora and Nancy Cornell, do to support our students, families, and our community. Chrissy and Nancy spend a great deal of time administering assessments, analyzing student performance data, and guiding teams in determining how to best deliver services to our students (among many responsibilities). Chrissy and Nancy, thank you for everything you do to support our students and our school teams! #OneNelson #ThankYouSchoolPsychologists

Thank you for your service, Carrie Bryant! Current Position with NCPS: Kindergarten Teacher at RRES Branch of the Military: United States Marine Corps (Reserves) Rank: Corporal Job while serving in the military and locations: Intelligence at Naval Air Station Oceana, Dam Neck Annex, Virginia Beach, VA, Admin. with Charlie Company, 4th Combat Engineer Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Lynchburg, VA. Training at multiple bases around the U.S. Years of Service: 8 years Highlights of her experience: "Training at Parris Island was extremely difficult but very rewarding. My summer on active duty at Marine Corps Base Quantico was enlightening as I learned a lot of behind-the-scenes workings of the Marine Corps. My summer at 29 Palms, while extremely difficult, was some of the most fun I had in the Marine Corps. Jumping out of helicopters, riding through the desert in a tank, training with the combat engineers (blowing things up), learning how to protect myself in a sand storm, and many more experiences. Finally, one of my absolute favorite parts of my Marine Corps experience was learning self-defense. From hand-to-hand combat to learning to use many types of weapons (my M16 was my favorite), it was truly a highlight. #OneNelson #ThankYouForYourService #VeteransDay

THANK YOU, VETERANS! A brief history of Veterans Day: World War I, known at the time as “The Great War," ended when an armistice between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. At the time, this was considered the "war to end all wars." Veterans Day was established to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. By celebrating this date, it preserves the historical significance of this event. Furthermore, it focuses on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Thank you to all who have served! #OneNelson #VeteransDay #ThankaVeteran
