Classy Aggie Tip-Off Day for Girls Basketball and 8th Grade Boys Basketball
This week FOCUS and Peer Helpers joined forces for our Substance Awareness and Prevention Campaign that encouraged students to reach their American Dream!
7th grade FOCUS members created meaningful posters to welcome everyone on Monday morning and 8th grade FOCUS members shared information they received from the FOCUS rally to all 7th and 8th grade classes this Friday.
Peer Helpers started each day with a drug awareness message over the morning announcements, provided each homeroom with campaign wristbands, and the opportunity to sign a drug-free promise that was posted outside of each homeroom door.
On Thursday, the Under Age, Under Arrest Program presented to the entire student body with information and encouragement to make wise choices at every opportunity. We can not thank the ABC Board, Police Force, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving enough for taking the time to speak to our students.
We are so proud of our students!
Veterans Day Lunch at NLMS
NLMS students that earned a Success Card for the first nine weeks were rewarded with a popcorn party this afternoon!
Students receive these positive behavior cards throughout the year when they are seen going above and beyond expectations.
Great job students!

8th grade FOCUS members participated in the FOCUS Rally this past Wednesday.
We left the rally extremely motivated by Lauren Sisler’s message of embracing our story and purpose!
We can’t wait to share valuable information about making positive choices to our student body during Red Ribbon Week at the end of October.
A special thank you to Sylacauga City Schools, Dr. Eller, and Carol Sprayberry for providing a way for our 8th grade FOCUS members to attend at no cost. Your generosity will impact many lives!

Go Aggies
Mrs. Holmes's 7th grade Accelerated Math students completed an A+ activity called Maddy’s Debit Card. Students are practicing adding and subtracting rational numbers using a real-world application.
Mrs. Farr's 8th grade ELA classes identified plot elements in “The Monkey’s Paw” and analyzed those elements and theme in the story.
In commemoration of 9/11, Mrs. Merrell's social studies students created collaborative posters to display in the hallways of NLMS as a reminder of the tragic events that occurred that day and the acts of compassion and heroism that followed. Students also watched a 9/11 docuseries to examine firsthand accounts of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the fate of United Airlines Flight 93, and the challenges of rescue and recovery efforts.
Congratulations to Hannah Harp, our September Star Student of the Month.
Last Friday, NLMS Peer Helpers participated in training and also volunteered at Alabama Food Solutions, an organization that gives back to our own school and community in so many ways!
Each year, the Peer Helper program kicks off with a training that provides students with foundational skills on how to help support their peers. These Peer Helpers serve as role models and are equipped to assist fellow students with challenges they may face, whether academic, social, or personal. Through active listening and empathy, they offer a safe space for their peers to express concerns, seek advice, and find the motivation to overcome obstacles. The Peer Helpers program is a testament to our school’s commitment to student well-being and leadership development and we are so proud of their willingness to help others and play an integral role in our school’s positive school culture.
We are so grateful for The B.B. Comer Memorial Library, and their willingness and hospitality, for allowing us to use their facility for this annual training.
