If My Teacher Were A Superhero

Welcome Back Superheroes

Welcome Superheroes


Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year at New Berlin Elementary. I hope your children had a wonderful summer break with opportunities to grow and learn. Our school continues to be recognized by the state as an “A” school. We have now maintained an “A” status five consecutive years! Congratulations to all our students, teachers, and parents for this outstanding accomplishment.

This year our school theme is Nothing Can Stop NBE Super Learners. We plan to continue to be unstoppable as we soar to new heights. The staff at our school does extraordinary things on behalf of children every day. They are willing to “leap tall buildings with a single bound,“work faster than a speeding bullet” and are “more powerful than a locomotive” when it comes to helping students become successful. Just open the door of any classroom at New Berlin, and you will see a super teacher! Parents you have prepared your children with the necessary special abilities to be successful, and together we make a super team!

During the summer, we’ve had some staff changes. Please join me in welcoming to New Berlin the following staff members: Raney Manning our new art teacher; Mrs. Julie Bott will be joining the second grade team, in first grade Ms. Angela Davis and Gloria Warren. I am excited to announce that Coach P, (Adam Przymylski) will be returning to New Berlin as a 4th grade teacher. In addition, we have a new guidance counselor. Miss Marisa Negron. We are excited to have these teachers join the “teaching league” at NBE.

I encourage you to join us at school activities and participate in our school programs. Please continue to utilize the school website for updates. We welcome parents and your contributions; you play a key role in the academic success of our students.

Once again, welcome back to school; it’s going to be a “Super Year!”
