What a great couple of weeks we have had recently. The last week of September we observed Start With Hello week where students, in a variety of ways, demonstrated kindness to one another. This past week we kicked off Bullying Awareness month with a school-wide lesson on cyber-bullying and students making a pledge to not bully others and to report any bullying that they see. Both of these events tie into our mission at Nelson Middle School which is to: "We will build a caring learning community dedicated to high levels of student engagement and achievement. We will accept nothing less!"
Upcoming events:
October 14- Teacher Work Day- no school for students
October 15- NMS Volleyball at home versus Buford Middle School 5pm
October 16-30 NMS Book Fair
October 18 Report cards go home
October 24,25 NMS Fall musical "James and the Giant Peach" 7pm
October 26 NMS Trunk or Treat 2-4pm
