💜🐯💛The beginning of the new school year has been busy for everyone. We are loving all our Tigers who have returned and meeting all the new Tigers who have joined the NHE family. In all the craziness, our Paras have worked so hard helping the teachers make the beginning of the year run smoothly and insuring our students feel loved and safe each day!
