NAMS Geography Bee Results This past Tuesday, January 7th NAMS hosted a Geography Bee open to all students. Mr. Poirier, along with other teachers, facilitated what we hope to be an annual event. After several rounds of questions, we were able to determine a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place winner. Congratulations NAMS Geography Bee winners: 1st place - Mason E. 2nd place - Logan B. 3rd place - Reagan V. Mason will have an opportunity to advance to the State Finals in April, with a possible shot at the National Geographic Society’s National Championship round in May. Grade 7 AMS Carnival Grade 7 students in our Applied Math & Science classes created probability games that were showcased during a student exposition this past week.

Questions: paulamistry@gmail.com NAMS RAISE theme for January is Empathy! This month’s RAISE theme is Empathy. Empathy is being aware of and considering another person’s situation, feelings or motives before speaking or taking action. It is a very important life skill to be able to recognize how someone else is feeling. Students are invited to recognize classmates for their empathy by completing a brief recognition form outside of the guidance counselor's office. Think of someone who is able to support others because they recognize how the person is feeling and always find a way to help. We are hoping to recognize a NAMS student each Friday. Thank you PTAC and Volunteers On behalf of all NAMS staff, thank you NAMS PTAC and all of our volunteers for the wonderful holiday brunch you provided last week. Thank you for all of the time, energy, and resources necessary to make this possible.
