During our Annual Day of Service earlier this month, students packed 150 Hygiene Go-Kits for Firefighters and 50 Welcome Hygiene Kits for VA Fisher House!
Summer Hours for June are 9-3 weekdays.
PTO has already been planning and coordinating with administration for a great 2026-2027 school year. In an effort to support accurate ordering and expedite the lines during Back to School Night, our PTO Spirit Shirt Chair is requesting all parents complete the preorder form for sizing of each of their school age NSA children during the month of June. If you turned in a paper order form the last week of school that is sufficient, but if you did not return your form please complete this link: https://forms.gle/QWDWcusEF9vbwaCm9 or use he QR code in the graphic.
We hope everyone is enjoying a fun filled family time this summer. These shirts are worn on field trips and early out days, but a gift from our PTO to all students.
Summer ART Camp is in its second week and these Bears have been having fun creating, exploring, and enjoying honing their talents with Miss Bea.
Thank you to all of the amazing students and staff who worked hard to earn these recognitions!
Students Making an Impact Beyond the Classroom with Books, Brushes, and Bright Smiles!
This year’s Annual Day of Service introduced a new opportunity for students to make a meaningful impact in the community. Students visited a local daycare, where they read books about the five senses and the importance of proper tooth-brushing habits before creating a fun, hands-on craft to reinforce these healthy practices.
To help continue the learning at home, daycare students also received donated toothbrushes, rinse cups, and timers to encourage strong oral hygiene habits. We’re proud of our students for serving others while promoting healthy smiles in our community!

Christmas Ornaments & Letters of Love - During our annual Day of Service some students chose to use their artistic interest and talents in grades 6-9 to make ornaments and write Letters of Love to those going through hardships! 650 ornaments were created and 97 Letters for letters of Love written #servicelearning #learnngisfun #NSABearsgivingback
Kindergarten Day of Service 2026
Our kindergarten students spent the day spreading kindness, compassion, and joy throughout our community! They decorated food bank boxes and wrote encouraging notes for families experiencing food insecurity, packed snack packs for students in need through the Jordan Education Foundation, created festive ornaments, colored cheerful pictures for Color A Smile recipients, and helped beautify their classrooms.
Through these meaningful service projects, our youngest learners discovered that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. We are proud of their caring hearts and willingness to serve others. Thank you to our student aides, families, and volunteers who helped make this special day possible!

Our fifth graders had an unforgettable day at the annual Utah Prevention Day at The Ballpark at America First Square! ⚾️💙
Students joined schools from across Utah to celebrate important lessons they’ve been learning all year about anti-bullying, healthy choices, wellness, resilience, and staying drug and alcohol free. The event combined fun, community, and education while students enjoyed exciting baseball games and positive messages throughout the day.

Parents,
Please plan to allow extra time for carpool on Thursday, April 23 sometime between 7 am - 5 p.m., Bluffdale City is working with Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. to resurface our street on that day. The re-surfacing will be done utilizing a process known as micro surfacing. This micro seal is wet when placed and will take about 1-2 hours to set. Please do not drive through barricades and watch for signage to direct you where you can and cannot drive.
More information can be found at https://www.bluffdale.gov/AlertCenter.aspx?AID=24 .
During the April board meeting, board members congratulated our students who received top honors and awards, including Grand Champion at the state science fair. Great job NSA 7th grade Bears!
Drama Club Tech Days during spring break. Students having been building and painting sets, making sock puppets and creating flowers out of pool noodles. We are excited for the Spongebob Musical in May.
