NSES end-of-year events planned

By Sandy Morris

Nancy Smith Elementary School preschool through sixth grade students will enjoy their annual field day on Monday, May 24, to be held at Webb City Park this year instead of the high school track.

Starting at 9:00 a.m., students will be bused to the park, and activities will start afterward. 

Competitions for the students will include sack races, hurdles, tug-of-war, water kickball, and water relay. 

Students will participate in field events only,  as no running competitions are scheduled this year because of the change in location.

There will be no early dismissal that day, and students will be released from the elementary school campus at the regular times. 

Parents and other volunteers will be needed during the day, and more information concerning signups will be released prior to the field day. 

The elementary school will not host a pool day prior to the end of the year.

End of Year Activities

First and second graders are taking a trip to the Abilene Zoo on Thursday, May 13, and fourth graders will visit Frontier Texas on Friday, May 14.

On Thursday, May 20, the sixth graders will tour the Perot Museum.

Later in the month, the awards assembly for first through fifth grade students will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 26 in the elementary cafeteria.

On Thursday, May 27 at 9:00 a.m., the sixth graders will have their ‘End of Year’ ceremony with presentation of awards, a slide show, and running the halls.

Early release days at 12:30 p.m. are scheduled for NSES students on May 25-27.
