Teacher Appreciation Week!
Our school family celebrated our beloved NDES teachers all week for their commitment and dedication to providing our students with a strong Catholic education. In a demonstration of unity and school pride, our teachers dressed as a team every day this week, adding to the special emotion within the building all five days.
As part of Teacher Appreciation Week, students in 8th grade treated the teachers to a car wash!
Congratulations Sr. Barbara Soplata!!
The SND Gospel Witness Award recognizes employees or volunteers in the SND national network who give witness to Jesus’ spirit of compassion, hope, and joy, and especially to those who experience poverty in its various forms. Award recipients reflect and nurture the Notre Dame charism, spirit, and mission within their professional communities and among all with whom they minister.
At NDES, Sister Barbara teaches enrichment lessons to Grades K to 4, making the children aware of the beauty of God’s creation. The children observe the cycle of the monarch butterfly, study how trees are the source of maple syrup, experience and measure the growth of plants, and celebrate historical and local events.
Sister Barbara tutors individual students and appreciates each child’s abilities. She is gifted at assessing their needs and helps them make progress. Children often express appreciation for the growth she has helped them achieve.
All of us at NDES are so happy for Sister Barbara for being recognized for giving witness to Jesus’ spirit of compassion, hope and joy. Congratulations Sister Barbara!
