Dear Students and Parents,

On Monday November 12, school will not be in session in honor of Veterans Day. On behalf of the faculty and staff at NAM, we thank all of our current and past members of our military for their service. Without you and past members we would not have the freedom we enjoy today.

Sincerely,

Mr. Lewis

We are unable to interrupt instruction time to have students come down to pick up items left behind. While we understand that emergencies may arise please make sure that your students have all the tools they need to have a productive school day.
