Welcome to the webpage for the Nelson Sharks! Here you will find information about what is happening at our school.
Thursday, October 2: National Custodian Day!
Thank you to our amazing custodians for all of their hard work! We really appreciate you and all that you do!
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.
