Dear NAMS families, I hope that this message finds you and your families well. Below you will find important highlights and information about happenings at NAMS. Please be sure to also check us out on Twitter @NAMiddle Happy Mothers' Day to all of our NAMS Moms! I would like to wish all of our NAMS moms a wonderful Mothers' Day this weekend.
Thank you for all of your time, efforts, and donations to support our Teachers and Staff this week! Thank you for Maria Philbin & Catherine Schmitt for coordinating and leading all of the efforts to make this week such a huge success. Thank you also to the countless parents/guardians who helped with the setup and cleanup of the breakfasts, ice cream social, and Friday lunch to show our teachers and staff how much you care.  Students Not Attending North Andover in the Fall 2019 If a student will not be attending North Andover Public Schools in September of 2019, parents/guardians will need to notify Mrs. Barron as soon as possible by either email or coming into the main office of NAMS. At the end of the school year your student’s records will be forwarded to their new school. Please contact Mrs. Barron with any questions at barronm@northandoverpublicschools.com NAMS Yearbooks Still Available We’re excited to report that the yearbooks are in, and they came out great! We have a very limited number of extra books available for purchase. These yearbooks will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Extra yearbooks will be sold for $40 (cash or check made payable to NAMS). Please see Ms. Darmon in room C202 to purchase one of our limited supply of extra yearbooks. We usually sell out of our books, so please don’t wait to purchase - this truly is the last chance!
Attention Grade 8 Families - We need your help with Grade 8 End-of-Year Activities To make these end-of-year events possible for our students, we need your help.

Thank you for your support! Our updated recycling efforts at NAMS are making a difference thanks to our students. In the last 2 weeks, we have been able to divert 910 lbs. of food from going into the trash. This food will be composted and turned into soil over time. In addition, our students have made renewed efforts to recycle and dispose of only our trash. The amount of trash being removed from NAMS has decreased considerably.
