Check out this flier about PERR Project- an invitation to partner with 1st and 2nd grade families
WHAT IS THE PERR PROJECT?
Some kids seem to learn to read with no issues, while others struggle. We’re interested in how parents’ attitudes, kids’ behavior, learning at home, and family history play into learning to read. And, we want to see how our inherited traits might have an impact on how we learn to read.

In the halls of Bobcat Country, heroes work each day, With mops and brooms and kindness, they sweep our cares away. They shine our floors to gleaming, keep our classrooms bright and clean, The hardest-working helpers that we've ever seen.
When spills happen at lunchtime, or messes fill the hall, Our custodians are ready—they answer every call. With smiling faces greeting us, they make our school feel right, They work from early morning until late into the night.
So here's to our custodians, the backbone of our school, You keep our Bobcat Country safe and beautiful and cool. Thank you for your caring, for all the work you do— Our school shines bright because of awesome people just like you!

Our newest Bobcat, Milo the service dog, had THE BEST first day at NRES.
Our NRES community had a delightful time as we participated in the Mt. Solon Christmas parade. Our students were festive and cheerful! A BIG shout out to our own Mrs. Knott who organized this float. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Trissel for the truck and trailer and to Mr. Lloyd for adding some very special touches to the float. Thank you to ALL Bobcat families and students who attended and participated. We truly revealed to the community what it means to follow the Bobcat Way!
The North River Pole shop is now open. Our cheerful and organized parent volunteers greet students with joy. Students may peruse a variety of homemade goods made by artisans from right here in our Mt. Solon community. This includes our own 5th grader, Abby L, who made these hand sewn ornaments!
We had the best time at our first annual Bobcat Turkey Waddle!
