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 ROAR Award winners for December 2016 for each team were:
Grade 6 Adventurers: Madison Ryder
Grade 6 Challengers: Isabelle Mosley
Grade 7 Explorers: Steven Piragillia
Grade 7 Beacons: Alexandra Kirkpatrick
Grade 8 Apollos: Aileen Peddie
Grade 8 Comets: Shayne Quersher
Unified Arts: Nickolas Clayton (8th Grade)
Unified Arts: Nickolas Clayton (8th Grade)
Congratulations to all! Thank you for all your efforts; you are ROARing to an AMAZING school year as TIGERS!
