What's Happening at Nelson??

Welcome to the webpage for the Nelson Sharks! Here you will find information about what is happening at our school.
 
This week is National School Lunch Week. We are so grateful to the amazing kitchen staff at Nelson for all of their hard work! Thank you for all that you do each day! 
 
We recently started a fundraiser with SchoolStore! To participate, simply scan the QR code on the lanyard your student brought home last week. You will be prompted to create a FREE account and, after inputting the email addresses of eight friends and family members, you will receive a code. Write this code on your student's lanyard. When your student returns the code to the office, he or she can collect a Book Buddy! As friends and family shop and donate to our classrooms throughout the year, your student will accumulate additional prizes.
