Week of May 28, 2017: Good afternoon Northeast Family and Friends. Here is our “Northeast Sunday Shout Out” for our week following the Memorial Day Holiday. On Tuesday we start our week off with one of the culminating activities of our 8th grade Holocaust Unit, a visit from a Survivor of the Holocaust, Solomon Frankel. On Wednesday our 7th grade enjoys their field day outside. Let us hope for good weather as our 6th grade Team Power will also be out on a field trip. On Thursday our 8th graders challenge our other 3 Bethlehem middle schools in our 8th grade track meet. This event will be held at Liberty’s Banko stadium. Liberty will also host free sports physicals Thursday evening beginning at 5 p.m. for all students interested in playing sports in the fall. Also Thursday Team Navigators will spend their final outing bowling at Town & Country Lanes. If you are hungry hearing about everything that is happening on Thursday, please join our NEPTO parents as they host the last Northeast “eats out” at the Dairy Queen on Easton Avenue between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m. Finally to end our week, we usher off our Band, Orchestra, Color Guard and NE Singers as they make their way to Connecticut for this year’s Music in the Parks. We know we will be well represented by our talented musicians, and we look forward to their return home late Saturday evening.
To end our second to last “Sunday Shout Out” for this school year, I prepare everyone for the closing by reminding our 8th grade parents of our “Moving Up Ceremony” next Monday, June 5th. Our ceremony begins promptly at 7 p.m. We will remind you about our ceremony again next Sunday, and we’ll also remind you that our final 3 days of school are all early dismissals with school ending at 11:30 a.m. Finally, we hope everyone has a very pleasant Memorial Day, and we look forward to having our students back to school on Tuesday.
