Hey, NAE families and friends,
Let’s help out our community by providing any food donations possible:
This food drive is coordinated by the 5th grade class. Their hope is to get to 1000 items! Mr. Koontz and Mrs. Blaine will be counting the items and sending out updates.
Drop off is in front of the school in the designated barrels.
For Thanksgiving week/weekend, households will be able to receive meals for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday when they pick up their children’s meals on Wednesday, Nov. 25.
Households also now have the option to pick up meals for Saturday and Sunday every week when they receive meals on Friday! The weekend meals will be packaged together in a larger bag than the daily meals. Click here for the upcoming distribution schedule and menus.
Please visit bit.ly/GAPSMeals to see all GAPS meal bus stops and site locations.

You can participate Nov. 2 – Dec. 1
NAE Fall in Love with a Good Book Read-A-Thon:
With some of our favorite school traditions like School Carnival and Jog-A-Thon on hold till the spring, NAE PTP is excited to share our Fall In Love with a Good Book Read-A-Thon for the month of November. For 4 weeks, students will be asked to read a little bit everyday with a goal for total minutes read during the month. We encourage students to share this reading challenge with their family and friends to help us fundraise for our school and community.
Dear North Albany Families,
North Albany Elementary PTP is excited to bring a fun, new school event to students and their families! The “Fall in Love with a Good Book Read-A-Thon” will run through the month of November and challenge students to read a little bit every day while also raising money to support our school and our community.
We invite our North Albany families to help their children track their daily reading using the Read for My School’s digital platform. We would also love if you would share your child’s progress toward their monthly reading goal and our fundraising drive with friends and family. Students will have opportunities to earn rewards along the way as well as prizes for top readers and top reading classrooms.
Here are some of our reading and fundraising goals for this fundraiser:
