Mrs. Jones’ class had a wonderful time participating in Camp Kindergarten! 🏕️ Students rotated through a variety of fun, camping-themed stations where they practiced important skills in creative and hands-on ways. Our little campers made lanterns, painted rocks, used Play-Doh mats with camping vocabulary, created camping headbands, and played math and reading games with a camping twist. What a fun way to keep students learning, creating, and exploring together! 🔦📚✨

Miss Parker and our third graders had a wonderful field trip to the Schrader Center in Wheeling! Students enjoyed exploring nature, hiking through the creek, and learning through hands-on outdoor experiences. It was a great day of curiosity, teamwork, and making memories outside the classroom! 🌿💧🦅

Our 4th grade students enjoyed an end-of-the-year picnic to celebrate all of their hard work, growth, and memories made this school year! 💙💛 It was a wonderful opportunity for students to spend time together, enjoy some fun, and celebrate a great year of learning. Way to go, 4th grade Eagles!

NMS students had a fantastic day at the Wetzel County Robotics Competition! 🤖💙💛 Our students worked hard, showed teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity, and most importantly, they had a great time. We are proud to share that every team brought home an award! A special congratulations goes to The Masterminds and The Circuit Crushers for winning Most Points! Way to go, Eagles! We are so proud of all of our robotics students and the effort they put into representing NMS so well.

Our kindergarten students had a dino-mite learning experience today! 🦖 With Mrs. Cain students learned about texture and three-dimensional art while designing their own dinosaur feet and masks. Mrs. Sutton also taught them a fun dinosaur song, and they proudly paraded in front of our 6th–8th grade students to show off their creations. What a creative way to bring art, music, and confidence together! Great job, little Eagles!

Today we celebrated our students for showing up, giving their best effort, and working hard throughout testing! Each day, students earned tickets for being present, prepared, focused, and putting forth their best effort. They were able to use those tickets to enter drawings for prizes they were excited to win. NMS students did an outstanding job, and we are so proud of their effort, positive attitudes, and perseverance. Families should be very proud of their students, too! Way to go, Eagles! 💙💛

Great opportunity for middle school students!

Our students put their creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork to the test with a bridge construction and weight-testing challenge! Working collaboratively, they designed and built bridges, then tested how much weight each structure could hold. This hands-on project encouraged critical thinking, engineering skills, communication, and a little friendly competition along the way. We love seeing our Eagles collaborate, take risks, and learn through meaningful STEM activities! 💙💛

Today, Mr. Melott’s third-period class earned a special reward and visited Mrs. Melott’s Kindergarten classroom for a fun learning activity! Mrs. Melott’s class has been completing a Mo Willems author study, so the students worked together to compare and contrast a real-life pigeon with the famous pigeon from Mo Willems’ books. They used a Venn diagram to organize their thinking and had a great time making connections between reading and the real world! 🐦📚

Today was one of those days that reminds us why school communities are so special. 💙💛 Our Pre-K students celebrated one of their very first milestones — standing proudly in their caps and gowns, full of excitement for all that is ahead. On that very same day, our high school graduates returned to walk our halls one more time, closing a chapter that began with moments just like these. From tiny caps to senior gowns, every step matters. Every hallway, classroom, teacher, smile, and memory becomes part of the journey. Today, we celebrated the beginning and the almost-end — and both were beautiful reminders that once you are an Eagle, you are always an Eagle. 🦅

Learning took us outside today! 🌿➕ Mrs. Cain's 5th grade students collected items from nature and used them to create math equations. Each item had a specific value, and students were challenged to build equations that matched four different target totals. It was a fun, hands-on way to practice problem solving, critical thinking, and math skills while enjoying the outdoors! 🍃📚

End of the year 4th grade fun!

All County Choir- awesome performance!

Our preschool leaders have been working hard on their Leader in Me goal: Everyone will complete the packing-up routine independently! After showing responsibility and proving they could do it without help, they earned a special reward — painting rocks for the front flower bed! We are so proud of our youngest Eagles for being proactive and taking ownership of their routines. 💙💛🎨🪨
