October 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 ROAR Award winners for October 2017 for each team were:
Grade 6 Adventurers: Rorie Haley and James Joyce
Grade 6 Challengers: James Baldwin and Emma Pereira
Grade 7 Explorers: Garrett Butler and Haley Puzzo
Grade 7 Beacons: Jacob Green and Paige Rooney
Grade 8 Apollos: Derek Guillemette and Arjanai Jones
Grade 8 Comets: Jayde Carrasquillo and Jayce Elliot
Unified Arts: Anna Dufresne (6th Grade) and Jake Nickerson (8th Grade)
Congratulations to all! Thank you for all your efforts; we appreciate how you are ROARing to the start of an AWESOME school year as TIGERS!
