New Albany Intermediate School

It was an honor to welcome over 80 veterans to New Albany Intermediate today for our Veterans Day assemblies. They shared valuable information with our students about their lives in the military, including jobs held during their service and how they communicated home with their families. It was a privilege to celebrate our veterans and their families on this incredible holiday. Thank you to our wonderful PTO for supporting this even by purchasing decorations and seeking volunteers to decorate each Wing space in red, white and blue to create a welcoming atmosphere for our honored guests.

Thank you,

Megan Ballinger, Principal

What is the PTO supporting at the Intermediate School in 2024?

• Purchase materials and construction of the Wheel for the newly adopted House System. The Wheel will be used as a fun, interactive way for students to be sorted into Houses. They will spin the wheel, which will have the four House colors, and whatever color the wheel lands on, that is the student's house for their entire time at NAIS! We will also use the wheel at "House Rallies" and for student House Leaders to spin when they achieve various accomplishments.

Donation would be just a portion of the total cost of the meal for over 148 teachers and staff members. Approximately $400-500 each meal would need to be donated. PTO will cover the rest of the expense of the luncheon.
