School Spirit is always in the air at Neidig Elementary. This past month, Neidig students had a fun-filled spirit week, where students had the chance to dress like their favorite teacher, and teachers joined in the fun by dressing like students.

One of the biggest hits of the day.... multiple "Mr. Godshalks" who came to school, while Mr. Godshalk dressed up like a student himself!

What a fun, memorable day for our students! Thank you to our creative staff and volunteers for all you do to make school extra fun!

On Wednesday, May 6th, families, coaches, and teammates celebrated our 3 graduating seniors on the Boys Varsity Volleyball team —

You may even see it posted here, like this kind message for Mr. Amen from one of his 10th graders:

“I want to celebrate this teacher (Mr. Amen) because he helped me and many others with struggles and through dark times in our lives. Even when he’s not having a good day himself, he never fails to make others smile. He is a very smart, kind-hearted, and straightforward person, and we all need someone like that in our lives. Anyone who has had his class would say that it was probably the best class they’ve been in because he always finds a way to make it interesting. I thank him for always being there for his students, whom he doesn’t just think of as his students but as a family as well. Whoever is lucky enough to have him in their lives should cherish the moments they have with him because time goes by faster than you think. Thank you for being you.”

-Mileiry, 10th Grade

You may even see it posted here, like this kind message for Mr. Carty from one of his 8th graders:

"He (Mr. Carty) helped me so much with everything I’ve learned in math so far. I may not be his best student, but he is really funny, and he makes my day so much better! When he explains a math lesson, I don’t feel rushed or overwhelmed; I actually feel like I understand it. He helped me a lot with test anxiety, and making the big tests into little chunks genuinely helped me academically. He is the best math teacher in the world, and he helped me like math a lot because I used to hate it a ton. So thank you, Mr. Carty!”
-Katelynn, 8th Grade
