From the Desk of the Principal
Dear Parents and Students!!
Last Friday we hosted our 8th annual NAM talent show. Thank you for attending the show and supporting our students. We raised over $1100 for the 6th grade students going on the Washington DC field trip. A special thank you to Ms. Dangerfield and Ms. Hayes-Bogle for organizing the show and arranging the food and drinks. Also Mr. Barnfield NAM music teacher, did a wonderful job being our emcee. Our students performed many different arts throughout the show vocal music, instrumental music, dances, jokes tellers, and magic tricks were performed and the audience was delighted. Great job by all and we look forward to next years show.
Thank you for your support and have a wonderful week.
Sincerely
Mr. Lewis
