NMS has a culture of continuous improvement--improvement in every aspect of teaching & learning and the student experience in order to support students being productive at their highest levels. We are in the business of student achievement and building a positive school culture--these are the only agendas at NMS that count!
*Important Deadline!*
🧥Missing a jacket, sweatshirt, book, water bottle or other item?
Check out the rapidly filling lost and found! We have a large supply of abandoned items that have been collected from the gym, cafeteria, classrooms, and other places around the school.
👉 Any items that are in good repair will be donated if not collected by December 20, so don't delay in checking it!
✏️ Thanks for weighing in on last week's survey question:
❤️ You can see from our results that, overwhelmingly, people value being with their loved ones during the holidays. We wish you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season! ❤️
Congratulations to our newest students of the month!

🦃 Thanksgiving Fun in 5th Grade Math
Students in Mrs. Despres' 5th Grade math class (above) recently participated in a Thanksgiving-themed math activity where each feather for their "turkey" was earned after completing a math challenge.
∿ Wave Investigation
Students in Mr. McNamara's 6th Grade Science class work with string to create waves and study wave dynamics, structure, and types. Waves have application in science from the physics of light to seismicity and their interactions can be quite complex.
