Dr. Wilson's Newsletter December 2018
It’s the most wonderful time of the year to celebrate and honor the many different traditions that Nolan families uphold. In the words of the late President George H. W. Bush, “We are a nation of communities… a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in the broad and peaceful sky.” The faculty and staff of Nolan want to wish you a beautiful holiday season with your family.
Join Us Tonight for the PTA Meeting – Tuesday, Dec 4th at 7pm with K & 5th Grade Performing: “Little Souls Are Gonna Shine”
Exciting News: We had two finalists from Nolan in the Times Free Press wrapping paper contest- Adam Aboulfaida, and Lydia Gill! They will be featured in this Sunday’s newspaper and their artwork will also be on display at the Creative Discovery Museum. There is a people’s choice contest that will end this evening for the public to vote for their favorite entry. Lydia is #2, and Adam is #13 at www.timesfreepress.com/giftwrap
