Stem this week was seeing how tall of a tower you could build with candy hearts.

Happy Valentine's Day from 3rd grade. Thanks to parents we had a fun time with minute to win it games, yummy coffee cake, fruit and fruit punch.

Volleyball 2-24-25. On Monday NHM is set to host the CCS volleyball games. There will be a RED game starting at 5 pm, 7th grade will play at 6 pm and 8th grade will follow. We have our 8th grade recognition night on Monday 2-24-25. This will be held between the 7th grade and 8th grade games. Thank you all for your time.

Due to the pipe issue we had today the home volleyball game scheduled for 2-19-25 at NHM has been moved to Zion Lutheran. The first game will still be at 6 pm. Thank you all for your understanding and we do apologize for any inconvenience this causes. Have a great day and stay warm.

Hello NHM families. Spring is right around the corner as well as spring sports. NHM track and field will start on 3-3-25 right after school. Practices will normally run till 5 pm. I would like to have a parent meeting on 3-3-25 at 5 pm in the school's gym to talk about the season. Before the first day of practice all student/athletes will need to be in good standing with their grades as well as have a valid physical on file. It is highly recommended each student/athlete be prepared to workout outside as well as inside. I also highly recommend a good pair of running shoes for all athletes. Thank you for your time. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at ksmith@nhm88.com

Today Kindergarten learned about the craters on the moon. The students were then able to use play dough dropping objects from different heights to make craters.

Since CCS is not in session today, Wednesday, there will be no volleyball practice. Game on Thursday at Hartem. 7th grade game starts at 6:00 and the RED game will follow the 8th grade game.

Since CCS is not in session today, Wednesday, bowling practice is canceled. Thank you. Stay warm!

Out of an abundance of caution and due to weather forecast predictions, New Holland-Middletown School District will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday February 12, 2025. Stay safe and warm tomorrow!

Just in time for tonight's/tomorrow's full moon, Kindergarten has started learning about the moon. Today's lesson was on night and day. Have your student look tonight to see if the full moon is visible through the clouds.

If your student receives special education services in our district, look for a survey coming to you by mail from the Illinois State Board of Education. Survey responses are confidential, and help improve services for special education services across the state.

Art in 3rd grade this week consisted of making hearts.

Due to the possibility of incoming weather, volleyball practice for tonight has been canceled.  A message was sent on Group Me.  Thank you

Reminder for Basketball Players: 7th and 8th grade players should return their uniforms to CCS as soon as possible. 5th and 6th grade players can keep theirs until the end of their season. A laundry bag will be sent with Coach Koester for the last game at IC and players can put their uniforms in the bag that evening.

Reminder: Today, Wednesday 2/5/25 is a 1:30 dismissal.

Some times, algebra can be tricky. Especially when it is solving for variables and remembering the order of operations. But, just because it is difficult doesn't mean that we give up!

Kindergarten was having fun learning about shadows. We went outside to see our shadows and notice where they were and where the sun was.

3rd grade enjoyed the weather with a game of Charlie over the ocean. They learned the game in music class.

Message from Mrs. Fuiten: Just a reminder- pictures will be this Thursday at 4:00 before the game. Please be dressed and ready to at that time to expedite the picture process. Also, there are a few conflicts with concession workers this week. If you are not scheduled to work in concessions this year and are able to help out tonight or Thursday, it would be appreciated.
