Birthday Treat Policy:
In keeping with the Wellness Plan for NDA the primary team (Pre-K, Kdgn. 1st. and 2nd. grades) has decided to forego treats in favor of a book being donated to our classroom or school library. It doesn't have to be fancy, expensive or new, for that matter, as long as it's in good shape. A bookplate will be placed inside the front cover of the book with your child's name and birth date. These books will create a lasting legacy for your child/family at NDA and provide a wealth of reading enjoyment for many children. Thank-you!
