ROAR Award Winners for May 2017 Celebrated


May 2017 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 May award winners received their certificates from Mr. Geoghegan, Ms. Rae, and Mr. Thomas in a brief ceremony after Homeroom.  We decided to double the number of winners to be two per team.

The ROAR Award winners for May 2017 for each team were:

Grade 6 Adventurers: Fay Heffernan and Justin Mather
Grade 6 Challengers: Nathan Tullish and Matilda Davenport
Grade 7 Explorers: Racheal Kane and Derek Zakrosky
Grade 7 Beacons: Matthew Gwozdz and Lillian Kirkpatrick
Grade 8 Apollos: Skye Myers and Justin Plausky
Grade 8 Comets: Christopher Proctor and Emily Turner
Unified Arts: Neveah Town (6th Grade) and Layne Benton (8th Grade)

A Tremendous Group of TIGERS FINISHING STRONG!

Congratulations to all!  Thank you for all your efforts; we appreciate how you are ROARing to an AMAZING school year as TIGERS!
