NK 5th and 6th Graders had a great time at their track and field day! Students ran in relays, dashes, did the long jump and had a softball throw.

The outdoor pickleball net at the NK School has arrived! Community members are welcome to come play before or after school hours. The net base has locking wheels that can easily be locked and unlocked for use. Please bring your own paddle and ball. When you’re finished playing, we ask that you return the net to its home base.
