Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
RAISE VALUES AT NAMS Each month, one of our RAISE values will be the focus. For the month of December will be on S for Service. We will kick off the month with our annual Food Drive to support Break & Roses. Each week, the NAMS community will be asked to help others with a different challenge. Beginning on Monday, December 9th students will be invited to recognize classmates for their service to others by completing a brief recognition form outside of the guidance counselor's office. Instead of reading a different quote or precept during morning announcements, we will focus on each month's theme beginning next week as follows:
NAMS ANNUAL BREAD & ROSES FOOD DRIVE Our annual NAMS Student Leadership Food Drive for Bread & Roses is scheduled to begin on Monday, December 2, 2019 through Wednesday, December 11, 2019. There will be collection boxes placed in all NAMS homerooms. Last year, NAMS donated 4,441 lbs. of food and we are hoping to make an even bigger impact this year. We will need your help to reach our goal of 5,000 lbs. of food. Bread & Roses is a soup kitchen in Lawrence, MA that has long been a center of hope and caring to the thousands of people in the Merrimack Valley who are struggling for survival. Their primary purpose is to ease the hunger of people in our community by providing a well-balanced, nutritious evening meal. Last year, Bread & Roses was able to feed over 76,000 people. Below you will find a list of food items that have been requested Bread & Roses.

LYLEF Mission We believe that all North Andover students should have access to learning experiences outside of the traditional classroom that foster critical 21st century skills. The Live Your Learning Education Fund supports students who lack financial means to take advantage of these opportunities, both domestic and international. LYLEF opens doors to students, many of whom have not had experiences outside of their own community, who would not be able to participate in these rich educational experiences without financial aid. Rotary Club Fundraiser December 7th at 7 p.m. at the North Andover High School, Warren Miller Entertainment confirms that the joys of winter are eternal with its 70th full-length feature film, “Timeless,” presented by Volkswagen. The North Andover Rotary is sponsoring this epic ski film and by buying a $15 ticket to the show, you will receive a mid-week ski ticket to Sugarbush and an early/end of the season ticket to Killington!
