Can you believe these 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders love Northeast School so much that they come in early just to be part of book club?! 📚✨
They’re diving into The Wild Robot, and they don’t just love the story! These students love the group work, the thoughtful discussions, and even getting to hang out with their teacher before the school day begins. The excitement is real!
Our 5th Graders celebrated The Olympic Opening Ceremonies by hosting their own Winter Games! The day kicked off with teams meeting in their dens, where they created a team handshake and cheer to get hyped for competition. From there, teams rotated through a variety of Olympic inspired events, both literal and figurative!
Teachers did an amazing job creatively recreating Winter Olympic events to make them school appropriate and doable inside the gym and classrooms. Look through the pics and see if you can identify and name the Olympic events!
The day wrapped up with a Closing Ceremonies celebration, recognizing teamwork, effort, and fun had by all. 🏆 Red Breezers took the gold! 🥇
A true Olympic level day of learning and school spirit! ❄️✨
🎉 Come on in! We welcome you to Mrs Santella’s Kindergarten class! They are 100 days brighter and loving every minute! 💯
The class celebrated with counting 100 ducks and a 10 scoop ice cream cone! 🐤 🍦
100 Days Smarter & 100 Years Wiser! 🎉 👵🏼👴🏼
We celebrated the 100th Day of School in the most wise way possible! Ms. Harrison and her class dressed up as 100-year-olds, complete with wigs, canes, glasses, mustaches, and lots of gray hair.
Students spent the day doing activities all about 100: counting, sorting, collecting, and showing off just how much they’ve learned in 100 days. So much laughter, learning, and fun packed into one very special day! 💯✨
🦈 Kindergarten Goes Wild About Research 🦒 🐕
Mrs Champagne’s Kindergarteners have spent weeks learning about non-fiction books and researching different animals. On Thursday they presented their animal research posters to each other to a round of applause for all the new fun facts and information they have learned. Bravo Kindergartners! #NortheastPride 🦁
Mrs. Meyers’ class found a fun and energetic way to practice their spelling words! 🎶✏️ Musical Chairs with a spelling word twist! When the music stopped, students rushed to write a spelling word right on the table. Don’t worry…dry erase markers wiped right off, but those spelling words and first grade fun are sure to stick forever in their memory! #NortheastPride 🦁
The teachers and staff at Northeast School had a different kind of staff meeting today and it was all about fun, collaboration, and a little 70’s nostalgia! Working in teams, staff members tackled a breakout box challenge, using clues and problem solving skills to open a series of locks. The goal? Break out of the box…and the staff meeting 😉 The breakout boxes were put together by the students at Rockville High School, who definitely tried their best to stump the teachers! With some creative thinking (and a very strong incentive to escape), everyone solved the puzzles, cracked the codes and had a groovy time doing it. It was a great reminder that the same teamwork, curiosity, and out-of-the-breakout-box thinking we encourage in students is present among our staff too.
The Connecticut Association of Schools proudly hosted the Annual Elementary Celebration of the Arts, and we are thrilled to celebrate our incredible honorees, Fifth Graders, Ruthie and Kierstyn! 🌟
Selected by their music and art teachers, these students were recognized for their outstanding ability in the performing and visual arts, as well as their strong citizenship and cooperative spirit. They truly embody what it means to be talented, kind, and dedicated members of their school communities. We are so proud of you both!
Today marked the halfway point of the school year! NES Teachers celebrated completing 91 days of school, with 91 more to go before the end of the year. Staff designed creative shirts showing different ways to represent “half,” and students had a great time trying to decipher each one. It was a fun, engaging way to celebrate being halfway there!
What a fantastic Winter Concert matinee today at Northeast! The band sounded amazing, featuring several standout solos, and the chorus truly shined with uplifting and inspirational songs. Favorites included We Go Together, I’m Still Standing, and the crowd-loved Golden. Don’t miss tonight’s performance at 6:30PM! We can’t wait to share this special evening with you. #NortheastPride 🦁
Our kindergarteners had a wonderful visit to the Rockville Public Library today! 📚🤖 They enjoyed story time with Robot Island, made robot crafts, moved to music, and toured the library. We loved exploring this special community resource and all the learning it inspires. #NortheastPride🦁
✨ A Blast from the Past at Northeast School! ✨
In 1976, as our country proudly celebrated its 200th birthday, Vernon Public Schools marked the occasion in a truly unforgettable way. All of the elementary schools gathered for a special ceremony that captured the spirit, pride, and optimism of the Bicentennial. That day, a giant time capsule was carefully lowered into the ground, filled with mementos chosen by the children and teachers of the time…and now, 50 years later, we are getting ready to unearth it!
Rumor has it that inside the capsule are pencils from Sharkey’s, the beloved pizza place in Vernon Circle, and even a Fonzie T-shirt, from Mr. Rivard’s class, a tribute to their favorite TV show, Happy Days. Teachers who helped create this moment in history included Mrs. Miller, Mr. Huddock, Mrs. Desoto, and Ms. Peterson, among others who made Northeast School such a special place during that era.
As we plan this exciting celebration, we can’t help but wonder what other treasures are waiting below? What memories did students choose to preserve for the future?
Be sure to check out the photos showing the crane lowering the time capsule, packed with hopes, memories, and pieces of 1976.
Were you there? Do you remember the ceremony or what your class contributed? We would love to hear your stories. Please comment below and help us piece together this incredible moment in Vernon’s history!
More details about when we will dig up the time capsule coming soon!
Our first graders at NES took their Readers Theater on the road today! 🎭
They proudly performed Peter’s Chair by Ezra Jack Keats for our kindergarten friends, spreading smiles, confidence, and a love of stories. Such a special moment of learning and leadership!
Our lobby is overflowing with lonely jackets, abandoned sweatshirts, and vests who just want to go home. Please swing by and see if your lost item is waiting for a reunion, they miss you! #NortheastPride 🦁
Our third graders took over the Connecticut Science Center today and WOW, did they explore! Building, testing, and trying everything in sight! Hands-on learning at its absolute best! A great experience for our curious scientists. 🧪🧠✨#NortheastPride 🦁
