Bus 17-1 will not be running today

What an unforgettable evening at the Summer Bash! 🎉 Students had a blast playing beach volleyball with the Chapman’s as referees, dancing to the amazing tunes spun by DJ Volin, and capturing fun selfies! 📸 Our talented Mrs. Vaughn even painted faces, adding to the fun! 🎨 And, of course, there was plenty of pizza to go around! 🍕

What a perfect day for our kindergarten picnic! From face painting and bubbles to bounce houses and crafts, our littlest learners had an absolute blast celebrating the end of the year. They enjoyed hands-on fun with special visitors—including a tortoise friend—and smiled from ear to ear while sliding, crafting, and playing with friends. Thank you to all the staff, volunteers, and families who helped make today so special. These memories will last a lifetime! #KindergartenPicnic #NMSFun #MakingMemories #KindergartenRocks

Bus 17-1 will not be running Friday, May 23

It’s been a whirlwind at NMS lately—with class picnics, testing makeups, field trips, Relay for Life, PK graduation, the senior walk, our GSA reward day (yes, we were all so caught up in the fun we forgot the pictures!), and so much more! With all the excitement, we’re just now getting around to celebrating another amazing group of students—those who showed up on time every morning, gave their best effort, and demonstrated respectful behavior during testing. As part of the celebration, students got a fun lesson in probability as they decided which prize bags to drop their tickets into to boost their chances of winning. We’re thrilled to share that we awarded 128 prizes to these dedicated students! Their commitment to NMS and their education makes us so proud. #EagleMentality

Mrs. Tallman’s Kindergarten class lit up the day with their annual Glow in the Dark Day! Students had a blast reviewing skills they’ve learned throughout the year—like subtraction, CVC words, and sight words—all through glow-in-the-dark games and activities. The room was buzzing with excitement (and glowing with learning)! They even took a few dance party breaks to keep the energy high. What a fun and glowing way to celebrate all the hard work they've done this year!

Our third-grade class recently went on a field trip to the Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex in Moundsville, West Virginia. This trip offered a unique opportunity to delve into the rich history of the Adena culture and witness one of the most significant prehistoric sites in North America.
