NMS thanks you!

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing PTO members, faculty, and Student Council for helping make last night’s Night of Scholars so special! Several of our PTO parents had children being honored, yet still took time to lend a helping hand. That speaks volumes about the wonderful families we have at NMS! It truly takes a village, and we are so blessed with ours! It’s people like you who make NMS feel like family and take our school to the next level! We appreciate you more than you know!

🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 Honoring Our Heroes at NMS! 🇺🇸 New Martinsville School takes great pride in hosting one of the best Veterans Day programs around, and this year was no exception! Our talented choir filled the room with beautiful music, our band delivered a wonderful performance, and our students created heartfelt cards to share with our veterans. Guests also enjoyed an impressive display of military uniforms, helmets, and memorabilia that helped bring history to life. Our veterans were treated to a delicious breakfast prepared by Chef at WCTC, making the morning even more special! A HUGE thank you to Jess Lemasters for the time, dedication, and heart she pours into organizing this incredible event year after year. Her efforts make this celebration one of NMS’s most meaningful traditions. Most importantly, thank you to all of our veterans for your service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country. It is truly an honor to celebrate you! 🇺🇸 Be Awesome. Be the Difference! 💙💛

Mrs. DeGarmo’s 3rd grade class just improved their opinion writing scores by 68 points, and there was even one perfect score! After using the OREO mnemonic to increase their scores, they celebrated with the Oreo Slip game. Memphis was the first to successfully get the Oreo from his forehead into his mouth without touching it. We caught it on video! Congratulations to all! Great job! 👏🏻

Germs Beware! Our Pre-K Students Are Learning Healthy Habits! Our Pre-K classrooms welcomed Mollie and Lisa from the 4-H Extension Office for a fun, hands-on lesson about germs and the importance of proper handwashing! Our little Eagles loved seeing how germs spread and learning how to keep themselves and others healthy! A big THANK YOU to Mollie and Lisa for making learning so fun and memorable! 💙

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Workmans class has been learning about Habit #2, Begin with the End in Mind. They set a classroom goal of completing their morning routine independently. They made a plan to achieve the goal - folder, lunch ticket, bathroom. They used a monthly calendar to keep track of the goal by placing a sticker/stamp on each day they completed their goal! Everyone achieved the goal and earned a GLOW PARTY!

Our 7th and 8th graders got a taste of the real world through the Get a Life program with the West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office! Students learned firsthand how challenging it can be to balance a budget, pay bills, make purchases, and manage everyday expenses. There were definitely some eye-opening moments! What a fun, hands-on way to teach financial responsibility and important life skills! A huge THANK YOU to the WV State Treasurer’s Office and all the volunteers who helped make this experience possible! 💙💛🦅

It's here!

Our PT joined Mrs. Blain’s PE classes for some fun-filled Gross Motor Bingo! 💪 Students had a blast moving, stretching, balancing, and building motor skills while having fun! A big thank you to our Dr. Utt for making movement and learning so much fun! 💙💛🦅 #PTMonth #NMS

Halloween fun

Our littlest Eagles had a SPOOKTACULAR time celebrating fall! Our PK students painted their very own pumpkins, while our kindergarten students celebrated meeting their classroom attendance goal by carving jack-o’-lanterns! Each kindergartener designed a facial feature and helped carve their creation! What a fun way to reward great attendance while encouraging creativity and teamwork! Lots of messy hands, proud smiles, and fall fun! 🧡🎃

Morning Drop Off We understand that mornings don’t always go as planned, especially when traffic or trains cause delays! Please know our drop-off doors are scheduled to close at 7:50 a.m. Arriving at 7:50 or later means the doors may already be closed. Our staff has tried to be accommodating by keeping the doors open a little longer when possible. However, we realize this has caused some confusion, and we apologize. Moving forward, we will be more consistent with our closing time so staff can return to supervising students inside the building. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our students safe! Please reach out if you have any questions.

🎨✨ Art I Guest Artist Spotlight! ✨🎨 Our Art I students had the privilege of welcoming another talented guest artist to class today! Sarah Seabrook, owner of Prodigy Dyes, joined us to lead an engaging lesson on the art of tie-dye. 🌈 Students explored the cultural connections behind tie-dye, learned about traditional and modern techniques, heard Sarah’s story of how she discovered her passion for tie-dye, and had the opportunity to see examples of her beautiful work. We are so grateful to Sarah for sharing her knowledge, creativity, and passion with our students! Experiences like these help bring art to life and inspire students to explore new techniques and discover their own creative potential. 💙🎨 Thank you, Sarah, for taking the time to share your talents with us! #ArtEducation #GuestArtist #ProdigyDyes #CreativeLearning #ArtInTheClassroom
