Thanks to all students and families who made our NCMS Book Fair a huge hit! Students got new books in their hands and our school earned more new books. It's a win for everyone. This year's Book Fair theme was everyone's favorite scary storytelling series, Goosebumps. Students and teachers were involved in daily trivia, searching for clues, and even creating displays for our library. Thanks to Mrs. Lewis for organizing another fun school-wide event behind literacy! Here are Mrs. Duncan's 6th graders creating a scene from their favorite Goosebumps book.
The Red Devil football team pulled out a victory Wednesday 22 to 14 over Jacobs Fork. Scoring touchdowns were by Chunk Beatty with two, and Daylan Davis with a long TD catch. Two point conversions were scored by Chuck Beatty and Isiah Lutz. The offensive line settled in and did an amazing job. Defensive standouts were Lincoln Hardy, Sincere James, Nyheim Robinson, and Jordan Larson. Great Win!!!
Students need to bring their Chromebook charger to school tomorrow. Our IT department will be inspecting the chargers and making sure students have the correct charger cables. It is a requirement for students to have this completed.
Have a good evening.

Parents, we are seeing an increase in students being loud and disruptive on the school bus, creating a safety issue with our drivers. Please talk with your child about appropriate bus behavior. If your child is identified as being loud and disruptive and causing a safety concern, they will be removed from the bus. We are blessed to have some amazing bus drivers who want to keep your child safe, so we must ensure students demonstrate appropriate behavior.
