Unique. Kind. Inclusive. That’s the Neidig way. April is Autism Acceptance Month! We’re celebrating neurodiversity with a full week of spirit days and a focus on community and kindness.
“Meet The Instruments Night” and parent meeting will be held Tuesday April 21st from 6-7:00pm at Strayer Middle School. This event is for any student who might like to learn a musical instrument next year in the band and orchestra program! (Current band and orchestra students do not need to attend this event unless you are considering learning a new instrument.)
At "Meet the Instruments Night" your child will get to try out their top 3 instrument choices before you enroll in the program and get an instrument for them. Parents will also learn more about the QCSD band and orchestra program, get to meet the teachers, learn about instrument rentals, and ask any questions.
You must pre-register for this event, so we will know our anticipated attendance and can provide the correct amount of supplies (mouthpieces, reeds, etc.).

*Registering for “Meet The Instruments Night” does not enroll your child in the program. It simply allows the students an opportunity to try out the instruments before you rent, purchase, or borrow an instrument.
If you have questions, please contact your school’s music teacher. Visit qcsd.org/music and click the CONTACT page to find their contact information.
There’s an instrument for everyone, we just need to find the right fit for your child!

Happy Read Across America Week!
Thank you to Neidig 3rd grader Odessa for sharing her book recommendation, "Enchanting Creatures,” by Camilla De La Bedoyere.
“I really like this book because you can learn all about animals!” said Odessa. When asked what her favorite animal and part of the book were, Odessa replied, “My favorite animal is the kiwi, and I really like the beautiful pictures of the animals in this book.” She happily shared a vibrant photo of a peacock. She also shared that she loves animals and wants to be a zoologist someday, getting lots of practice taking care of her hamster, “Squeak,” and her kitty cat, “Waffles.”
Thank you, Odessa, for sharing “Enchanting Creatures” with us and for your love of animals. Happy Read Across America Week!

Thank you to Neidig Elementary 2nd grader – Liam – for sharing his book recommendation, "Days with Frog and Toad,” by Arnold Lobel.
“The book is about two friends, Frog and Toad, and all the adventures they have,” said Liam. He was extremely excited to share that he received his book from Neidig’s Book Vending Machine.
Each elementary school in QCSD has a special book vending machine thanks to the Quakertown Community Education Foundation. Instead of snacks, students earn books by receiving coins for demonstrating PRIDE—Perseverance, Respect, In-control behavior, Dependability, and Effort.
Keep up the great work Liam, and thank you for sharing “Frog & Toad” with us.
