Participation in our Fun Days is completely optional, but we love offering small, cheerful surprises to keep students motivated and excited as we move through the holiday season.
On December 10th, we’ll be providing mustaches for any student who wish to wear one as part of our “Tech” Express Day celebration at the Tech Center. These light-hearted touches are always a favorite and help bring a little extra joy to the week.
Thank you for supporting the positive energy and enthusiasm in our school community!

NMS had mini Rudolphs, stylish Rudolphs, book-loving Rudolphs, and a few who looked ready to negotiate their sleigh-driving contracts.
Mrs. Walton even went on a full Rudolph hunt, tracking down every red-nosed reindeer in the building like the official North Pole Inspector. (Spoiler: she found plenty! 😂)
One thing is for sure: with noses this bright, there’s no chance we’ll lose anyone in a snowstorm. ❄️🤣
Thanks for the giggles, the cuteness, and the festive chaos today, NMS reindeer! ❤️




Our students spent the day diving into the world of modern manufacturing at the Explore Academy!

Special Christmas Events to take note.


2025-2026 NMS Robotics Team at the WCS Competition

Today, some of middle schoolers took an extra step to brighten our hallways—and our hearts! Cubbies had positive-affirmation Post-its, each one carrying a message of encouragement, gratitude, or kindness.
Mrs. Smith's Pre-School students were so excited for teachers to read their notes.
Moments like these remind us that kindness grows when we plant it. Today, our middle schoolers planted a whole garden. 🌟

First graders in Mrs. Carpenter’s class used their iPads to be spelling detectives. The students learned how to use the magnifier and Freeform from Mrs. Hale, technology integration specialist. The students spelled words, took pictures of their words, and made illustrations.








🧠🔬 PLTW Medical Detectives at Work! 🔬🧠
Mrs. Zwick’s PLTW Medical Detectives have been diving deep into how the brain works—and this past week was an exciting one! Students had the opportunity to dissect sheep brains, giving them a hands-on look at the structures they’ve been studying.
Our young scientists did an amazing job showing curiosity, care, and teamwork. 🧪✨
We’re so proud of the hard work they put into understanding one of the body’s most important organs!

Students in Mrs. Price’s room were Spelling Detectives. They used the apps Freeform and Magnifier to complete their mission.
