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!
All Is Calm… Just Kidding! It Was 6–7 ALL Day! 🎄✨ Mrs. Barcus and Mrs. Wilkinson surprised their third grade class today. It was a fun filled day with everything 6-7! We made 6-7 hats, answered math story problems and equations using the numbers 6-7, and so much more. The class especially enjoyed shopping on Amazon for things they could purchase with $67.00 and then wrote about it using 6 or 7 sentences. Their classroom door and tree were made complete with 6-7 decorations! Best of all . . . They met their goal and made 67 Christmas cards for our local nursing home. They said it was the best day of school EVER!
Our youngest Eagles filled the gym with bright smiles, joyful songs, and plenty of holiday cheer today during their Christmas Program.
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! They heard from: 🔹 MPLX 🔹 tecnocap 🔹 Consol Innovations Students also toured the WVNCC campus and wrapped up with a fun engineering challenge — building a tower strong enough to hold a cup of Skittles! Huge thank you to Explore the New Manufacturing, Consol Innovations, MPLX, tecnocap, and WVNCC for an awesome, hands-on learning experience!
Special Christmas Events to take note.

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. 🌟

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!

Today Miss Landis’s Career Exploration class took a look at the Career Cluster law, public safety, corrections, and security. As a class, the discovered a crime that had taken place in the city, the classroom. They worked together to document, catalog, and collect evidence from the crime scene. They numbered, took photos, and made diagrams of where important evidence was discovered. In the following days they will be collecting fingerprints, comparing data, and applying for warrants for search and seizure. The students had a great time with this beginning activity and can’t wait to solve the crime.
