"Happy Fall" everyone! Our school year is off to an amazing start with full days of learning and teaching. We are proud of our Broncos and their enthusiasm for outstanding attendance. Keep it up! The students have a lot to look forward to each day, and we attribute that to our incredible staff of educators, aides, paraprofessionals, and administrators here at NBMS. I am impressed on a daily basis of how innovative and creative our team is, it's no wonder the students are eager to be here and learn each day!

Over the next month we will be busily preparing for our annual Old Fashioned Family Christmas, which raises money for our NASA Space Camp Scholarships each year, so be sure to look for how you can be part of the festivities this year. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of teaching your children.

In our effort to increase grades by increasing attendance at the Ruth Fox, we have created an attendance football game. We calculate attendance at the end of each day and the team with the highest attendance for the day moves their helmet forward 10 yards until a touchdown is scored. This week the Goldstein, Mitchell, Rogers team won their 10th attendance day and reached the end zone. They had a popcorn party to celebrate their great attendance!!! A new football game begins now with all teams back at the original goal line.
