April 2, 2026 - NPAS Staff District Newsletter

NPAS Team,

I hope this message finds you in the middle of a relaxing Spring Break and that the week has provided you with the space to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved time with family and friends. Whether you traveled somewhere warm or enjoyed the quiet of home, I trust you will return to work with a renewed sense of energy.

As we enter the final months of the school year, I’ve been reflecting on our theme: Better Together. Before the break, I witnessed this mentality in the strong sense of community that exists in our schools, the enthusiasm that our employees bring to their tasks and most importantly, the high levels of teaching and learning that take place in our classrooms on a regular basis. Now, as we enter the home stretch, staying committed to that shared mindset is more important than ever. The "end-of-year sprint" can be demanding, but it is also when our collective impact is most visible.

By continuing to lean on one another, we ensure these final months are as productive and rewarding as possible. Thank you again for the dedication you bring to New Prague Area Schools. It is your willingness to collaborate on behalf of all of our students—even when the calendar gets crowded—that makes this district such a special place for our students and for each other.

Let’s make these final months our best yet. I’m excited to see what we can achieve as we tackle the remainder of the year, truly Better Together.

Sincerely,

Andrew Vollmuth

Congratulations to our Wellness Bingo winner, Tiffany Kniefel!! Thank you to everyone who participated and joined in the fun.

We hope you enjoyed the SunChips that were available at all buildings in February. They were a small way to brighten everyone’s day. Our next staff treat will be sparkling water to encourage everyone to stay hydrated… because even superheroes (a.k.a. school staff) run better with proper hydration. 

Thanks for being part of our Wellness activities!
