EXTENSION NEWS
A familiar face has returned to NDS to work several days a week in afternoon Extension with
Mrs. Williams! I am pleased to welcome Amber Mooney, an NDS alumni, to the Extension team.
Amber recently graduated from Vacaville High School and is looking to pursue a career in early
education. She is excited to return “home” to work with our students in the after-school program.

Canned food drive
The canned food drive begins on Monday, 11/4. Each grade was assigned a specific dry
good or canned food item (the list was emailed earlier this week). All items will be donated to St.
Mary’s food locker to prepare for the upcoming holiday season. Thank you in advance for your
generosity.
