Numa Elementary Works to Build Community

Numa Elementary Works to Build Community

As part of Numa’s plan to build school community and connection, every student and staff member at Numa Elementary belongs to a school-wide tribe, either Red, Green, Yellow, or Blue. The tribes are a mix of 4th and 5th graders from every class as well as all teachers and all school staff.

Throughout the year there are both social and academic flash challenges and activities where points can be earned, in individual classrooms, by grade level, and whole school. This helps to engage and connect students and staff in some fun and friendly competition. At the end of each quarter, the tribe with the most points accumulated gets to be called down to the cafeteria to enjoy donuts together. This year staff has had to be creative both in planning the challenges and activities, and also making sure to maintain safety protocols and social distancing with the donut awards.

On Friday, October 23rd the GREEN tribe got to celebrate their 1st quarter victory with donuts. Half of the green tribe in the AM session and the other half in the PM session, with plenty of room for social distancing.

Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
