September 3rd, 2015


  • No school on Monday, September 7th in observance of Labor Day.
  • It is critical that students are dropped off and picked up on the JH side each day.  It is a safety issue that is completely avoidable.  If you are dropping off and/or picking up your child from school it must be from the designated areas and NOT on the dome side of the school.
  • Sad news today from NBJH.  Mrs. Eason has accepted a position at Lincoln Land Community College and will be leaving us soon.  I've been avoiding putting that in writing because that makes it real! :( Being able to serve as JH Principal with Mrs. Eason by my side for the past three years is something that I will be forever grateful.  With that being said, we are so excited to announce that pending board approval, Mrs. Lori Owens will be making the transition from NBE over to the Junior High!  You will see Mrs. Owens in the JH starting on September 10th.
  • Literary sign-ups are due Wednesday, September 9th to Mrs. Tom.
  • Message from Coach Brosi on Heart & Soul (Girls on the Run).  It's not too late to sign up!  This program meets in the fall on Mondays and Thursday from 3:30-4:45.  Come check out the first practice on September 10th for free.  If you want to sign up, go to gotrcentralillinois.org.  
  • If you don't have Family Access please contact Mrs. Eason to get setup - this is an invaluable resource!
  • Check out www.pretzelathletics.com for Pretzel Athletics updates, schedules, and results.  You can also follow Pretzel Athletics on Twitter @nbpretzelpride and on Facebook.
  • The character for the month is RESPONSIBILITY - A person of character meets the demands of duty, is responsible, pursues excellence, and exercises self-control.
