Middle School Families:
We will recognize our teachers and staff for the tremendous work they do each and every day at NMS. We thank all of our adults for their support, encouragement, praise, influence, inspiration, and PRIDE shown to our students and families. If you find the time this week I encourage you to reach out and share a note of gratitude to a teacher or staff member who has positively impacted you and/or your student.
As we enter the last month of middle school for our eighth-grade students and families, we want to highlight two exciting events that are planned to cap off their time at NMS. Thank you to all of our families for your support of these events!
8th Grade Fun Fest is Friday, May 17, from 5:00 - 8:00 pm at NMS. There will be inflatables, a photo booth, bingo, door/grand prizes, food, and much more. 8th grade student tickets are $10 in advance & can be purchased online by clicking this link OR $15 dollars at the door on May 17.
