Good Knights
(6/9/11)
The Neelsville Good Knights
As you know, the Good Knights is a group that was designed to recognize and reward students who demonstrate great initiative, effort, achievement, citizenship, and respect in our school. Students are recommended by teachers and elected by their peers to serve as role models and positive representatives of Neelsville.
The Good Knight members participate in a number of activities designed to recognize achievement and help the community. Previously, we have helped raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur, sponsored a trivia contest for Hispanic Heritage Month, and made Valentine’s Day cards for patients and staff at Children’s Hospital. Currently, we are raising money to help victims of the recent natural disasters, and organizing a Staff Appreciation activity. If you would like to help with the fundraiser, please see contact Ms. Nachlas at Sarah_B_Nachlas@mcpsmd.org, Ms. Shpilyuk at Sofya_A_Shpilyuk@mcpsmd.org or ask a Good Knight what you can do to help.
We are pleased to announce that 10 of our 7th graders and 12 of our 6th graders have been recognized as being positive members of our community and have been elected by both their teachers and their peers to be Good Knights. Please congratulate them on receiving this great honor.

The Good Knights is a group that was designed to recognize and reward students who demonstrate great initiative, effort, sportsmanship, achievement, improvement, attendance, citizenship, and respect in school and community activities. Starting after the 2nd marking period, students are recommended by teachers and elected by their peers to serve as role models and positive representatives of Neelsville.
The Good Knight members participate in a number of activities designed to recognize achievement and help the community. In previous years we have raised money to provide relief to hurricane victims and to fight Juvenile Diabetes, we have helped raise awareness of the genocide taking place in Darfur, Sudan, and we have made holiday door decorations for patients at Children’s Hospital. Already this year we co-sponsored the Hispanic Heritage Month trivia contest, and volunteered for Reading Night and Neelsville Day.
If you would like to volunteer or know of additional community service opportunities, please contact Ms. Nachlas or Ms. Lynch at 301-353-8064 or by e-mail at Sarah_B_Nachlas@mcpsmd.org or Christina_L_Lynch@mcpsmd.org. We welcome all who would like to volunteer with the Good Knights throughout the school year. We are always looking for new opportunities to help the community and recognize the achievement of our students.
