ROAR Award Winners for September 2017 Celebrated


September 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 two students, who are 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 TIGERS band, 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 2017 for each team were:

Grade 6 Adventurers:  Edmilson Correia and Sarah McCollem
Grade 6 Challengers:  Gavin Fritz and Olivia Sanchez
Grade 7 Explorers:  Grace Lyerla and Ryan Morrissey
Grade 7 Beacons:  Millene Garcia and Drew Turnbull
Grade 8 Apollos:  Jack Legendre and Olivia Rusciano
Grade 8 Comets:  Owen Kidd and Emma Regan
Unified Arts:  Axel Culpepper (8th Grade) and Laurel Jewett (8th Grade)
What An AWESOME group Starting Strong at NMS!


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