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.

Help Us in Afternoon Carline
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.
