We are so thankful for Mr. McGonegal and Mrs. Holbrook, our incredible Eby principals, and all the hard work and love they pour into our elementary students each day. 💚

This National Principals Day, we celebrate and thank you both for your leadership, dedication, and the positive impact you make in our school community! 🏴‍☠️

We need your help! Let's fill up the courtyard windows with Relay for Life donation cards. Only two weeks left until our mini relay! Reminder: pink survivor forms are due Monday May 4th.

4th graders celebrated Arbor Day with a presentation from Mr. McGonegal, DNR officer, Kevin Sayers, and members of the Napoleon Lions Club, Dick and Carmen Tallman and Levi Kimble, who were kind enough to purchase White Spruce seedlings for all of our 4th grade students.

Eby celebrates Earth Day 2026!

Future Pirates attended the K for a Day event at Eby today. They met Pete the Pirate, went for a school bus ride, worked out with Mr. Marvin, visited each of the kindergarten classrooms, and played on the playground. We are so excited for them to be a part of our Crew!!

Napoleon Community Schools is excited to announce the scheduled opening of our new fitness center on Tuesday, May 12th. Part of the 2023 bond approved by voters, this new fitness center will be a staffed, membership-based facility open to residents of the Napoleon School District and will replace the current key-card entry system that is used for community members in the current weight room. Beginning on May 12th, the weight room will be reserved for use by Napoleon students and athletes under the supervision of Napoleon teachers and coaches.

Applications for membership to the new facility can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RaC38go4-a7omCWnk3szclEMF6EvfQwbCYvsb0lcZOE/edit

We will begin processing these applications on Monday, April 20th so that we can ensure a smooth transition for our community members that are moving from the weight room to the fitness center. Current key cards will be deactivated on May 12th.

We will also be hosting a community open house on Wednesday, April 29th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM for those that would like to preview the new fitness center.

This is a great addition to our campus footprint and we are looking forward to seeing our community take advantage of this amenity.
