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 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. Field Day - Wednesday, June 12th (Rain Date is Thursday, June 13th) is a day full of fun and organized activities and will be held on fields behind NAMS, and not the Youth Center. Even though the teachers organize the activities, this day would not be possible without lots of parent volunteers! Class Night - Tuesday, June 18th is an evening of fun, food, and music for the students to enjoy with their 8th grade teachers. This event includes parent volunteers (set up and clean up) and food donations. You can help by signing up here or at the following address: http://signup.com/go/ELDUkKC If you have any questions regarding the activities please contact parent volunteers Eleanor Lucarini at erlucarini@gmail.com , Diane Nikolopoulos at santorini1010@comcast.net , or Maria Philbin at nj1822@comcast.net Field Day T-Shirt Logo Contest Attention Grade 8 Students - You are all invited to design this year’s NAMS Field Day 2019 logo that will appear on all Field Day T-Shirts.
