Good Afternoon NMS Families!

I have some updates for you as we get ready for our winter break. There is a change to our school lunch menu tomorrow. We will have pizza, green beans, carrot sticks, fruit and milk. We were hoping to have a short pep rally for our students tomorrow, but due to concerns regarding covid, we will have to reschedule this event. Tomorrow will be a regular day for the students. We return to school on Monday, January 3rd.

Happy Holidays!

Our Winter band/chorus concert was Tuesday, December 14th, and what a great job by our band and chorus! Special thanks to Mr. Goguen and Mr. Melo for all their hard work. I am including a link to the concert in case you haven't seen it.

Mrs. Mercier is an excellent science teacher! She has been working at Northbridge for 15 years and has been in education for twenty years. Mrs. Mercier was motivated to become a teacher because she enjoys the creativity of creating fun lessons and seeing how they can inspire others to have the same enthusiasm for science that she has!

Spending time with her family, taking day trip adventures with her kids, and gardening are activities that Mrs. Mercier likes to do in her leisure time!

Thank you Mrs. Mercier!

Our winter sports are off to a great start! Our girls basketball team has lost 2 close games and our boys are 2-0. We also have 8, 7-8th grade students wrestling with the high school team and 7 students on the indoor track team.

Way to go NMS sports!

Our last table top activity regarding an active shooter went very well. The students did a great job discussing the options regarding different scenarios in the building. We will have our second exercise when we return from break, mid to late January. Thanks to Ofc. Dejordy for his help with this!
