February 2018 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 February award winners received their certificates from Mr. Geoghegan, Ms. Rae, and Mr. Thomas in a brief ceremony after Homeroom.
The ROAR Award winners for February 2018 for each team were:
Grade 6 Adventurers: Emma Albon and Jordan Hayes
Grade 6 Challengers: Willow Murray and Devon Yavorski
Grade 7 Explorers: Jason Burke and Eva Jenness
Grade 7 Beacons: Alaster Ellis, Janeer Lassiter, and Megan Sargent
Grade 8 Apollos: Joshua Murphy and Makayla Robicheau
Grade 8 Comets: Ilanna Langton and John Morrissey
Unified Arts: Julia D'Emilia (8th Grade) and Andrew Soule (7th Grade)
Congratulations to all! Thank you for all your efforts; we appreciate how you are ROARing to an AWESOME school year as TIGERS!
