Welcome to the Team

 

I would like to welcome Joelle Sabbagh, as our new Library Technology Specialist (LTS)! This will be her fourth year being a LTS at an NHA school. We are thrilled to have her expertise and passion on our team. Click here to learn more about Joelle and be sure to say hello when you see her on Monday!

Valentine's Day Party

 

You are welcome to plan a small Valentine’s Day celebration in your classroom on February 13. We request that this celebration take place the last 30 minutes of the day. If you would like to do Valentine’s Day themed academic activities throughout the day, you are welcome to do that as well. We encourage you to invite families into your classroom to join your celebration.

Per our student handbook, “Students in grades K-5 may celebrate by bringing valentines for their classmates. Students who bring valentines must give one to each of their classmates.”

To maximize time, have your students only write who it’s from, instead of writing each student’s name on the valentines. If you do provide a class list to families, please make sure not to include last names.

Core Values

NHA’s Core Values define who we are as an organization and provide a sense of alignment between employees and the organization's mission, vision, and purpose. We should use the Core Values to guide our individual behaviors, decisions, and actions. They remind us of what is important and what you want in your life. To gain a better of understanding of our Core Values, please click HERE to review NHA’s Core Values and see what they look like in action.

Student of the Month Awards

 

As we live out of Core Values, it’s important that we Behave With Care. One way to do to that is by recognizing as many students as possible during Fridays’ assemblies.

To ensure that the specials teachers do not choose a student that has already been recognized by their homeroom teacher, please make sure that you are filling out this form consistently each month. 

Thank you to all the staff members who have been completing the form every month.

Affirmations

 

Michigan weather for giving us this extra day of rest. 😊

Steve for once again providing breakfast, it is always appreciated.
Stacey Reed
for stepping in and attending a meeting on my behalf in my absence.
Kim J
for organizing another staff activity that required minimal effort from the staff while delivering maximum fun and connection.

Jen D for organizing our English Language Family Night and creating a space where families could come together to share dishes from one another’s cultures while engaging in a meaningful learning experience. It was wonderful to see our community partner, the Belleville Library, involved as well. Your commitment to our families—calling each one personally and extending invitations even after having to reschedule the event—truly demonstrates your dedication to building strong relationships and an inclusive school community.

Jen D, Crystal, Laurie, Cayla, Yasmeen, Christina, Monique, Jane, Steve, Stacey Reed, Courtney, Diane, Andria, and Kathleen for either helping with set up and/or attending our English Language Family Night. Even after the event was rescheduled for the following week, your commitment never wavered, and you still showed up. I truly appreciate the sacrifice of your personal time to support this event and spend the evening building meaningful connections with our families.
