ROAR Award Winners Announced for September 2016

September 2016 ROAR Awards Handed Out



A few years ago, NMS began a new program, which recognizes students for achievement and positive school contributions each month.  The ROAR award is given by each grade's cluster and Unified Arts to acknowledge students who have been Respectful, On-time,  (displaying a positive) Attitude, and Responsible.  The goal is to recognize students who not only take care of basic expectations in class but are good citizens and role models in our community.  Teachers and faculty get together and decide on who is most deserving for each month of the school year.

We also connect the ROAR program with our TIGERS culture-building protocol.  We are specifically looking for students who are Trustworthy, have Integrity, are Generous, are Empathetic, are Responsible, and show Strength. 

Award winners receive a certificate, a coupon for a free book at the book fair, bumper stickers for their parents’ cars, and their individual picture displayed in the Main Office for the month.


The September award winners received their certificates from Mr. Geoghegan, Ms. Rae, and Mr. Thomas in a brief ceremony after Homeroom.

The ROAR Award winners for September 2016 for each team were:

Grade 6 Adventurers:  Dylan Lynch
Grade 6 Challengers:  Anthony Ashe
Grade 7 Explorers:  Shavonnah Lewis
Grade 7 Beacons:  Zackery Lowell
Grade 8 Apollos:  Benjamin Medieros
Grade 8 Comets:  Kaya McGrath
Unified Arts:  Jayce Elliot (8th Grade)


Congratulations to all!  Thank you for all your efforts; you are ROARing to an AMAZING beginning of the school year as TIGERS!
