I will be needing about 6 pictures of your kiddo as well for the 8th grade video that is played during graduation. Please send pictures in with your child as soon as possible and I can copy them to my drive or email them to klewison@nhm88.com. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello NHM families! We’ve set a goal to create a community of lifesavers by getting everyone to take Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR. When given immediately, it can double (even triple) a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. If you haven’t done it yet, take Finn’s Mission today to learn this life saving skill.

Good morning, NHM. We are halfway through our Kids Heart Challenge fundriaser for the American Heart Association. So far, we have raised almost $300 and have 2 students who have completed Finn's Mission. Our school goal is to have 10 students complete Finn's Mission. If we can hit that goal, the top earner in each class will get the chance to silly string a teacher. If we are able to have 18 students complete Finn's Mission, the school will be entered into a drawing for a full gym makeover. Thank you all so much for your support so far, and I hope we are able to finish strong this week.
All physical money donations will need to be dropped off to Coach Smith no later than Tuesday, 1-21-25. Have a great day, everyone.
