NMS Update 3.2.2025
Northfield Middle School 24 -25
Our MS spring activities will begin when we return from spring break on Wednesday, April 2nd. Registration opens on March 10th for spring activities. Students are not required to have a sports physical for a middle school activity.
If your middle school student chooses to participate in a HS activity, they must have a current sports physical on file with the HS before you can begin the registration process. Sports physicals can be emailed to Sheryl Docken sdocken@northfieldschools.org or be turned in to Kari Hartwig khartwig@northfieldschools.org at the middle school office.
The following middle school activities are offered for students in grades 6 - 8: Boys' Tennis, Boys/Girls Track & Field, and Boys/Girls Golf. These activities will run Monday through Friday, 3:00 pm - 4:30/4:45 pm. Stay tuned for more information and schedules in the coming months.

Jay Feyereisn
Don’t let Jay’s quiet demeanor fool you. He is actually very outgoing, using his artistic skills to voice his thoughts and opinions. He is meticulous - details have no chance against Jay’s laser eye accuracy! He embodies the notion of “slow and steady, wins the race.” His finished masterpieces are proof that, to make great art, it takes time. The Northfield Middle School Art Department is very proud of Jay’s contributions.
Esther Voight
Esther has been an asset to the Northfield Middle School art department for three years! She has a big personality and a top notch sense of humor. Esther works hard on her artwork each day, and also regularly helps other students in class. She has a creative eye and always looks for ways to improve and refine her work. We love having Esther as a student in the art department!
Austin Stime
Austin was chosen for participation in the Minnesota Band Director's Association Grade 6-8 all state honor band. He is an excellent percussionist in concert band, and is an integral member of the jazz band as well. Austin is an eager student and loves to learn new things! Congratulations Austin!
Sam Marroquin
Sam is an active musician in the NMS Music Department. He comes to each orchestra class and lesson with a positive attitude and commitment to musical excellence. He is committed to his musical endeavors, actively participating in both 8th Grade Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra at NMS. He has also challenged himself by participating in the NMS Solo & Ensemble Festival. In addition to his work in orchestra, he also plays the saxophone in Jazz Band and the bassoon in 8th Grade Band. Sam is a hard worker, wants to learn and is an asset to the MS Orchestra program. Congratulations Sam!
Violet Froehle
Violet has been selected for this distinguished honor for her exceptional work in choir. Violet comes to every class and voice lesson with a positive attitude. She is reliable and hard-working. Vocally she has grown immensely over her time in choir and is a leader in the alto section. Violet challenges herself by taking advantage of every opportunity, including Solo & Ensemble, Division Street Singers and ACDA-MN State Honor Choir.
Way to go, Violet! Keep up the great work.
We are excited to share a resource we have at the Northfield Middle School- The Raider Closet. It is a place that ALL students are welcome to use. The Raider Closet has coats, hats, gloves, sweatshirts, pants, shirts, shoes, and more! If you have a middle school student that could use any of these supplies have them come to the student support office during their study hall or before/after school and we can help them pick out what they need! Questions feel free to reach out to Heather Stanton Ims, School Social Worker at 507-663-0685.
Tutoring Hotline is a volunteer program that matches Carleton volunteers with Rice County students of all ages in need of free, one-on-one academic assistance in any subject. Our program supports students who already have a set curriculum; our tutors are not equipped to assign new content. Approved tutors sign up for specific tutoring requests depending on their academic interests and availability and will meet with students for about one hour, once a week in a public location or via Zoom. Tutoring sessions are individualized to the student’s needs and may include review of concepts learned in school, preparation for upcoming tests, help with homework, etc.
