Nebo Elementary Supports Relay for Life of Paulding County

Cancer has probably had a direct impact on all of our lives, I know that it has had one on mine. Through continued research, perhaps a cure will be found in our lifetime. Remember that every Friday is hat day ($0.50 donation) with all proceeds benefiting Relay for Life. As an avid supporter of Relay for Life, I want to thank you for your continued efforts in helping Nebo in their support of the American Cancer Society.  Thank you for your dedication and commitment to helping Nebo Elementary "Celebrate more birthdays!"

The vision of Nebo Elementary is to work with our learning community members and our local community members to ensure our students are engaged in a quality educational experience that is provided in a safe, productive environment as they prepare to become contributing lifelong learners in our local and global community.
