It's TEACHER and STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK AT NH-M this week, and we want to hear from you!
We're celebrating all of the hard work and accomplishments of staff members this week for all of the work they have done with our students all year long!
As you go through the week, we would love if you would send something in with your kiddo on one or more days for these hard working folks. Even a short "thank you" email, hand-written card, or colored page/drawing goes miles with these folks!
Let's say a collective "thank you" with style this week!

Mack Ford
The Middle School Student of the Month is Mack Ford. Mack is a polite, respectful, hard working student who has demonstrated significant growth. Mack is participating more in class, his homework is being done on time, and his grades are improving. Mack consistently does what he can to help those around him. We are proud to call Mack Ford a New Holland-Middletown Mustang!

The Elementary Student of the Month is Addie Johnson. She is a great friend to all, and loves to help out wherever she can. She works hard and is a great learner. She is consistently a great student in class and is missed when absent. She is a peace keeper and always respectful. We are proud to call Addie a NHM Mustang!
