We have a variety of events planned for the year - some are educational, some help to raise funds for the school and all provide a great opportunity for families to get involved in the school while having fun and meeting new friends. We hope you will enjoy these events and being a part of the New Nursery School community. We also hope you will consider volunteering your time for our two largest events, Breakfast with Santa and the Spring Fair.
