Happy Friday, Junior Falcons!

News

The proof is in the numbers - our scholars are spectacular! On Friday morning we recognized 296 students for Quarter 1 excellence. It was a wonderful celebration of our collective hard work and Quarter 2 is already off to a great start. Plus, a special thank you from the PTA to all who donated items, money and time to make our students’ celebratory breakfast a success!
The Winter Concert is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 17. The show starts at 6 p.m. but students are asked to arrive at 5:30 p.m. Please note that the dress code is all black and that the PTA will be running a basket raffle fundraiser during the concert - cash is needed to support this important cause!
The NAMS Holiday Party is scheduled for Dec. 18. All students in attendance will receive a Toys for Tots gift and there's still time to register for a sibling gift!
We love seeing our community school in action! Check out this December update from Community School Site Coordinator, Dave Sherrod.
Registration is ongoing for afterschool programming. Use this link to sign up.
