Team Impact of NMS Guest Speaker Series
On Friday January 20th, Team Impact of NMS began their guest speaker series for their students during their drop periods. Dr. Gabrielle Manto, from Pax Chiropractic in Newtown, came to speak to the students about the systems of the body and having a healthy body and mind. Dr. Manto took the students through anaerobic and aerobic exercises and breathing activities for the students to experience how their body systems work in symbiotic ways. The students participated in an hour-long presentation complete with a Q & A session as well as tips on how developing healthy habits help with being resilient from the stress and anxiety they may encounter during the day. Tips included getting enough sleep for their age, limiting screen time, moving their bodies and eating a variety of foods. She also gifted each student a stress squishy brain as a reminder of the information they learned during her visit. Future guest speakers will be appearing at NMS for team Impact on:
- Feb 15-10:40-11:25am - Ms. Profitt, Actress

Princeton Learning Experience - We are high school students from Bucks County, and we know how much you value your child’s education. We also know how difficult it is to find a program that meets all of your child’s learning needs outside of the classroom. So, we made our own! We are proud to present the PLE Bucks County Branch - an exciting opportunity where high school students can teach elementary school students' math and reading while earning volunteer hours at the same time - all virtually and free of charge! We have paired with the Princeton Learning Experience (PLE): a non-profit educational organization aimed at providing elementary schoolers (grades 1-5) with math and reading lessons in small groups. The Fall Session of this program runs Monday and Wednesday from 7:20 to 8:00 PM starting 1/2 til 3/15. We are looking for both volunteers for teaching and students for enrollment! If you have any questions about this program, please contact plebuckscounty@gmail.com.
