NEMS is selling Tidal Wave Car Wash coupons. For $10, you get a $30 car wash! We will be selling them all September, and the coupons will come in after Fall Break. These make great stocking-stuffers and are a great money-maker for NEMS. If you are interested, please print the form below, call the front office, or have your student stop by for an order form. Each student who sells 50 coupons will receive a free Kona Ice when they return on October 30.

Families are invited to a Special Programs Parent Night on Thursday, September 18, 2025 at Six Points located at 130 Avery Lane in Aiken.

This drop-in event runs from 5:30–7:00 PM and will feature workshops, local agency partners (including Bright Start, Walton Options, and SC Vocational Rehabilitation), and door prizes! Families from elementary, middle, and high school are all invited to learn more about resources and support available. We would love for any teachers to attend as well to connect with families and explore available resources.

NEMS Volleyball Pictures will be taken on September 22. Please see the flyers below or reach out to Coach Holley for more information!

Students studied Picasso for National Arts in Education Week. They will be putting the finishing touches on their Picasso faces this week--look for these pictures in next week's newsletter!

Want to make car line go faster? A sign with your child or family's last name would help tremendously! Prop it up on your dash, use a pants hanger to hang from your rear view mirror, or wave it out the window like you're on ESPN Game Day. It will be at least a month before we have your vehicle and all your relatives' vehicles memorized.
