Scholastic Bowl Update for this Week:
We have two home matches this week. We play against Zion on Tuesday and Mount Pulaski on Thursday. Both matches will begin at 4pm in the cafeteria. Students can meet in Mr. Brummett's room to wait until all students have been dismissed and the cafeteria is empty/ready to set up. We will play in the cafeteria and encourage families to spectate. As usual, each match should last approximately one hour.

NH-M would like to congratulate our Students of the Month for February - Mason Butler and Emma Melton. Thanks also to Tremont Bank for your continued support of this program!
Emma Melton
The middle school Student of the Month is Emma Melton. Emma is a hardworking student, brightening the classroom with her positive, can-do attitude and drive to improve. Teachers have stated that she has shown significant improvement both academically and in confidence in her abilities. She carries this onto the court in volleyball and cheerleading as well. She is a true reflection of a quality NH-M Mustang! We are proud to call Emma Melton a New Holland-Middletown Mustang!
Mason Butler
The Elementary Student of the Month is Mason Butler. He is a steady, dependable presence in the classroom, and always has a good attitude. He helps others, works hard, and gets along with everyone. He has made good strides in math, reading, and writing this year. He always has a nice thing to say about his classmates, and he brings the laughs. He is a great example of a NHM Mustang!
Spring Pictures are just around the corner -- Friday, February 27th is the day!
