Hi everybody, we hope this message finds you as well as possible. With the recent changes to SNAP benefits, we wanted increase awareness around Montgomery County’s Food Share programs in addition to community resources in the Norristown area. While we know a list of resources doesn’t always feel like the most comforting or helpful solution, we hope it can be a starting point. It is through our communities that we take care of ourselves and each other. You deserve access to what you need. We know that the struggle can be intense and some days it seems like things only continue to get harder. We want to try our best to be here for you however we can be. While our resources may be limited, our hearts remain abundant. Please feel free to reach out to the school counselor with ideas or questions at any time! Her email is bkieserman@nasd.k12.pa.us. You can also call (610-630-5001) or visit the NASD Family Support Center at 401 N Whitehall Rd.

Join us on Saturday, November 8th from 10:00-1:00PM for Coats and Cookies, our annual coat distribution event in front of Davenport Elementary School. Pick up your new winter coat and other winter necessities!

Buses are going to be running early or on time today. Be at stops at scheduled time.

We had a special visit from Nutmeg the service dog. Thanks to Montgomery County Child Advocacy Project, we are fortunate to learn about all the wonderful things Nutmeg does. Thank you Nutmeg for spreading love and awareness to our school family.
