Nelson Fun Run - Success!
We want to thank everyone for the their support in making the first annual “NELSON FUN RUN”, held May 16, a success. Together we raised just over $ 2,700 which will be allocated to the Nelson Education Fund and ALIVE for aid to families in our community. Whether you advocated, participated or volunteered at the event, your help was truly appreciated!
We had just over 250 participants in the event. Thank you, thank you! We hope to continue this tradition in bringing staff, students and community together to help others in the years to come.
Have a great weekend!

Mobile Devices + School = Learning - Shirley Arneson
Technological advances have had a huge impact on our lives. Technology increases productivity in business, helps families balance their budgets and brings learning to a new level in the classroom. If the thought, “times they are a changing,” has crossed your mind you won’t find the following information surprising. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop on creating learning environments in schools using mobile devices. According to the presenter it took nineteen years for colored TV to reach ten million users, twelve years for the VCR, seven years for the CD player, and only nine months for ten million users to be holding onto an iPad. If those numbers don’t make your head spin try the fact that out of seven billion people on the planet, five billion of us are owners of one or more mobile devices.
