It was a full week at NEMS with an earthquake drill, South Carolina History, Band, Roller Coaster projects, Bus Evacuation Drills, and NEMS shining stars. Some students took the Earthquake Drill as an opportunity to practice theatrics :)

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.

SchoolCafé gives students and parents a quick and easy way to stay on top of their nutrition. Macros, ingredients, and allergies are displayed for meals and individual items.
