Mr. Busold's Message

Greetings NOMS Family,


We are excited to welcome you back to school and hope you had the opportunity to enjoy some time with your family and friends this summer, while also finding time for some rest and relaxation. We still have a couple of weeks before the first day of school, however there are some activities that have already started and some that will begin next week. Please know that this newsletter will serve as the information hub for NOMS throughout the school year. We will send out a newsletter every two weeks on Sundays and will also send a text message that will remind you that this email was sent to you.


Our hope is to reach every single family, ensuring the information shared is going to everyone. If you hear of a family that is not receiving this newsletter, please encourage them to call the main office at 440-588-5703 for instructions to get them signed up.


Please take a look at the activities and information below regarding some beginning of the year topics.
