Help us Paint the Town Green
This is Children’s
Mental Health Week

The colour green is used to recognize both child/youth mental health, and Essa Township. Green represents hope, growth and transformation. We are challenging all of our families to put up pictures, posters, lawn signs or chalk paint to celebrate. We are using the hashtags #NPSSGetReal and #EssaCares. We look forward to seeing all the extra pops of green in our community.

Laugh of the Week

Why is the obtuse angle always cranky?

Because it is never right!

Riddle of the Week

Two camels were facing in opposite directions. One was facing due East and one was facing due West. They were in the desert so there was no reflection. How can they manage to see each other without walking around or turning around or moving their heads?

Trivia of the Week

The hashtag symbol is technically called an octothorpe.

Featured Book of the Week

eReading Sites

With her daughter to care for and her abuela to help support, high school senior Emoni Santiago has to make the tough decisions, and do what must be done. The one place she can let her responsibilities go is in the kitchen, where she adds a little something magical to everything she cooks, turning her food into straight-up goodness. Still, she knows she doesn’t have enough time for her school’s new culinary arts class, doesn’t have the money for the class’s trip to Spain — and shouldn’t still be dreaming of someday working in a real kitchen. But even with all the rules she has for her life — and all the rules everyone expects her to play by — once Emoni starts cooking, her only real choice is to let her talent break free.
