On Thursday, October 27, we hosted the NED Show® for our students. This motivational assembly, which complimented our Red Ribbon Week's positive messages, taught three critical skills designed to bring out the champion in everyone. The assembly shared the story of NED and focused on the three principles that spell out his name... N - Never Give Up. E- Encourage Everyone. D- Do Your Best. 

 

Thank you to all the students, parents and teachers who have supported the NED Show yo-yo sales. We were able to bring this assembly to the school free of charge by offering to sell the show's promotional yo-yos. Additionally, we will bring 10 percent of our sales back into the school in the form of educational products. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students and staff and created a great deal of positive energy at the school. 

 

Thanks again for all the support for this program.

If parents or students have any questions about their yo-yo products,
