Nederland Middle-Senior HS Community,
This past week has been a snowy one. I traveled to Florissant on Monday and experienced the 6th grade outdoor experience at High Trails. It is a great opportunity for our students to learn and bond as a class. The snow did not bother kids at all during the week. We want to apologize for the poor transportation experience coming home. The weather had an impact on the return trip from the Springs.
Congratulations to our Ned Cross Country team. The girls team placed 10th for the 2A division. Amika Begin placed 9th and earned All-State honors. Ben Weber placed 32nd in the boys race.
No School on Monday, November 11, it is Veterans Day.

Volunteers Needed at NMSHS! Research consistently shows a strong positive correlation between parent volunteers (parental involvement) and student success. There are currently many opportunities for providing that support at school including student support (tutoring), cafeteria bulletin board assistance, help with the front desk, monthly breakfast treats for our teachers, library assistance, and Harvest Feast! Please see the full list of volunteer opportunities here: https://bvsd.helpatschools.com/schools/45/events
Harvest Feast is approaching! This annual tradition of teachers and students coming together to give thanks and have a wonderful meal together is happening in 2 weeks! We are doing a volunteer sign-up for all food this year, rather than having grades bring in food. Asking students to bring in food without some kind of RSVP made donations unreliable and made for a lot of work for our kitchen volunteers. We need a LOT of volunteers to make this a successful day, from donating a dish to preparing and serving the food. Please help ensure this annual tradition continues by signing up today! https://bvsd.helpatschools.com/schools/45/events/14534
Enjoy the three day weekend,
