Good Afternoon, NMS Families.

Teacher Appreciation Week is next week May 5th – 9th, and we’re excited to show our incredible teachers and staff just how much they mean to us! This year, we’re planning to stock the teacher lounge with snacks, drinks, and goodies to keep their week extra special and full of surprises.

On Friday, April 25, 90 students from Spring Grove Elementary, Richmond Grade School, and Nippersink Middle School traveled to the Bloomington-Normal area to compete at the Future Problem Solving Affiliate Finals.

In teams of three or four, the students engaged with a future scenario about the effects of nanotechnology on the sport of swimming. In a two-hour time frame, the teams utilized a six-step process to identify and solve the underlying problem they saw in the scenario. The final step in this process is the creation of an action plan that describes how their solution could be implemented to solve the problem.

In the final piece of the competition, the teams had to create a presentation of their action plan that showed the underlying problem and solution they decided to implement. The teams then presented their action plans to a judge, parents, and a crowd of their peers.

Nippersink District 2 took home a variety of awards for both the skit performances and the written competition. Most notably, NMS, in the written competition, had four teams place in the top six in the state for the middle division. These results mean that a number of students will be moving on to the International Finals at Indiana University in June.

We are very proud of the effort that all the participants put forth in the competition. Great job everyone!

Safety for our students and staff is something we take very seriously here at NMS. Please talk to your children about the seriousness of making threatening comments regarding students, staff, or the school. No comments will be handled as a joke here at Nippersink Middle School and law enforcement will be contacted if comments are made or shared on social media. Please contact the office or use our website if you have a safety concern. Safety concerns can be submitted on the website HERE
