NMSHS PANTHER POST
November 17, 2023
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE - Mr. Goodrich
Nederland Middle-Senior HS Community,
Today we had our traditional Nederland Harvest Feast. The student council and PTA organized a wonderful experience for our students and our guests, including local seniors and first responders. The food and fellowship was wonderful.
The Thanksgiving time of the year is one of my favorites. You may have heard me tell others that I love the holiday because it does not bring on the stress of Christmas/Hanukkah holidays. We really enjoy seeing our family and friends, I love the traditional football games (go Lions! and go Cowboys!) and my favorite part is the cooking and food. A great combination! We have a lot to be thankful for this season and look forward to the final four weeks of the semester when we return to classes in a week.
Final Exam Schedule
Finals week will take place December 18th through the 21st. Friday the 22nd is an exam make up day and a teacher grading day. See the schedule below.
Have a great Thanksgiving break!
