As we step into the month of February, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the continued support and dedication of our students, staff, and families. February is a month that reminds us of the power of kindness, perseverance, and growth—values that we aim to cultivate in every corner of our school.

This month, we will focus on fostering a positive environment for all. We will celebrate our achievements, always with the goal of supporting our students in reaching their full potential.

I encourage everyone to take advantage of the opportunities February brings—whether through academic challenges, extracurricular activities, or acts of kindness. Let’s continue to work together to make this a month full of growth, connection, and success for all.

Thank you for being an essential part of our school community. I look forward to all the great things we will accomplish together this month.

GOOOOOOO SEAHAWKS!!!

❤️ Mrs. Wilkerson's Math Corner – February Fun! ❤️

February is the perfect time to sharpen your math skills! Try this quick "Heart Hunt" activity: Cut out paper hearts and write math facts (like 6 × 7 or ⅓ + ⅔) on each. Hide them around your home and challenge a family member to find and solve them! The person who finds and solves the most wins. 🙂

✨ Math Tip: Want to boost fluency? Spend just 5 minutes a day practicing mental math—try skip counting, flashcards, or math games like Prodigy or Math Bingo. Small efforts add up to big gains!

Stay curious and keep calculating! ➗➕🎉

If your child is trying out for a sports team, they will need to have a sports-athletics physical filled out by a Drs. office and an account on aktivate.com needs to be created where you can find all the necesary requirements for sports. Please contact Mr. Cepero at kevincepero@osceolaschools.net for updates regarding athletics events and game day recaps please follow the Neptune Athletics. Instagram @NPMS_ATHLETICS

Let's celebrate! February is Black History Month, a time to honor the achievements and resilience of Black Americans. From music and art to science and politics, Black culture has enriched our world in countless ways. This month, we'll be highlighting these contributions and celebrating the vibrant tapestry of Black history.
