As you can tell from the slideshow at right, our Barnes & Noble Bookfair on Friday evening was a big success! Thank you to all of the student and teacher readers and to Mr. Bestler and the NDA Jazz Ensemble for providing the entertainment. We were fortunate to have NDA represented by these talented students and teachers! Thanks also to all of you who came and made it a wonderful fundraiser and community gathering for our school. The proceeds from the event will go towards the purchase of new books for our library and classrooms. I can't think of a better way to start the holiday season! | |

A few weeks ago, we got a wonderful gift from first grader Brynn and her classmates: a cartload of books. For Brynn's birthday celebration, she invited all of the first graders to donate a book to the NDA library and they really came through, as you can see in the picture. Thank you first graders for making our library even better! In other news, tonight is the night for our Barnes & Noble Bookfair at the Edina Galleria! We are looking forward to hearing stories from our our student and teacher readers and to hearing some wonderful songs from the NDA Jazz Ensemble. Don't forget to check out the library and teacher wishlist section if you'd like to make a gift of a book to the school. I look forward to seeing many of you there in just a few hours! This week the seventh and eight graders took a lesson from a dog (well, a small part of a lesson at least). It wasn't just any dog though. It was Ruff Ruffman, Humble Media Genius, and he knows a thing or two about how search engines work. He also happens to be a very talented dancer. Take a look at his video and then check out the infographic linked below for a more in-depth look at the workings behind search engines. You might also want to search YouTube to find out what else Ruff knows about media, technology, and dance moves.
