NH-M JH students have been blessed once again! Our Moms Who Care group is in their final year of being in our school, and they want to make this year HUGE for our students.

They would like to purchase every 5th - 8th grade student in the district a name brand sweatshirt as well as a pair of name brand athletic shoes.

Forms are coming home today for students to select sizes, brands, and colors. Please help your child make these selections and get forms turned back in to their first hour teachers.

Kindergarten is learning about force and friction. We experimented using hot wheels cars on the smooth tile floor of the cafeteria and the carpeted floor of the library. We gave them gentle pushes and hard pushes. They noticed when giving the cars a hard push on the carpet they stopped rolling and crashed.
