​Staff and students at Nashwaaksis Memorial School continue to work hard to support their community in more ways than one. The school is hosting its 4th annual school-wide 100th Day Challenge to help those less fortunate by donating at least 100 items per grade level to the Fredericton Food Bank. Each grade is assigned a food item and each year the students surpass their goal. They develop pride in their effort and the fundraiser also deepens their level of empathy, generosity and compassion for others.

The school is also engaged in "Try for 5 - This School Just Got Healthier," a school wide challenge selected by the Student Wellness Club to encourage students and staff to eat at least five fruits or vegetables per day for the month of February. Try for 5 motivates the entire school to become ambassadors for health eating. Every week, the Student Wellness Club records the amount of fruits and vegetables consumed by each classroom by using a fundraising thermometer to visually keep track of the data.
