NMSHS Panther Post

Nederland Middle-Senior HS Community,

I love a heavy spring snow storm, it means that summer is coming soon.

Not much to write about this week of testing. It is hard to believe, but we have only four weeks until graduation. Our seniors have been doing a great job of managing their academics and they have been super involved and contributing to the school all year long. Graduation is set for Saturday, May 17, starting at 1:00 p.m.

Have a great four-day weekend,

Gavan

We had a great turnout for Middle School Track & Field this year with 20 students signing up. Thank you to all of our students for continuing to be so involved. Because our students sign up for all these activities, we are able to offer a lot of opportunities even though we are small in size. These middle school students have their first meet of the season this Thursday 4/24 at Manhattan. Run fast Panthers!
