Congratulations to Parker Good. He won our 7th grade chess tournament of champions. Parker is surrounded by his 4th period class. A special thank you to Nobil's Trophies for donating the trophy and continued support of NMS!
Kepler sure does enjoy walking through classrooms creating a calming environment while students continue to be focused on learning. Mrs. Cring's class enjoyed this time with Kepler while reading.
Pop Tab Success!
Together Norwalk Middle School surpasses the goal for Ronald McDonald House.
All year long, our students at Norwalk Middle School have been collecting pop tabs in support of the Ronald McDonald House, and their efforts have truly made a difference!
At the beginning of the school year, the goal was to fill 7 water jugs. With hard work and a final surge of donations, our students proudly finished with 9 full jugs!
On May 19th, students had the opportunity to travel to the Ronald McDonald House in Toledo, where they delivered the pop tabs, toured the facility, and learned about the incredible work being done to support families with hospitalized children.
While there, our students also volunteered to clean common areas of the house, helping to create a comforting and welcoming space for families during a difficult time. They also took a moment to read heartfelt wishes from parents on the Wishing Tree, and added their own inspirational messages to encourage and uplift future guests.
We are so proud of our NMS students for showing such compassion, leadership, and community spirit. Thank you to everyone who helped make this project a success!
Mrs. Englehart's final lesson with some of the 4th graders was in celebration of everything they learned with her this year. They celebrated this achievement by showing great teamwork through making cloud dough together as a class. Each student received their own cloud dough as a reminder to look for the positive, how kindness helps each person, laughter helps our mood, and different coping skills we may need to use through life.
Congratulations to the 8th grade band for earning the top rating of superior for their performance on Friday, May 16th! The band performed for Festival of Music, where they were evaluated by three highly qualified musicians and educators. The students celebrated their success with some time at Cedar Point. Thanks to their fundraising efforts, this trip was entirely free for every student. An even bigger thank you to the wonderful chaperones who kept our students safe. These parents and students were amazing representatives of our school and community!
