Field Day is one of those days students talk about all year long. It’s a huge highlight of the school year, thoughtfully planned by Mrs. Maxwell, our amazing PE teacher. From parachute games and relay races to jump ropes, giant blocks, and LEGO building stations, there was something for everyone to enjoy. It was wonderful to see kids unplug and simply play together. These are the moments they’ll remember. This is childhood.

🐣 Meet the Flock! 🐣 The fifth graders in Mrs. Pelletier’s class are proud to announce the hatching of the ducklings! The ducklings are all doing very well and growing quickly each day. They have all been named and are slowly beginning to show off their unique personalities. Students have been inviting classrooms to come visit and meet the newly hatched ducklings, sharing their excitement and learning with the entire school community. Some students have even been taking the ducklings home for special weekend “sleepovers.” This beloved springtime tradition continues to be a favorite at Northeast School, bringing joy and responsibility to students and staff alike.
