NAMS Cross Country Team Results Over 30 middle schools and hundreds of student athletes competed at yesterday’s Cross Country Meet at Stage Fort Park in Gloucester.

NAMS KNIGHTS’ CLOSET - Thank you for your donations! Thank you to all of our generous NAMS families and residents who donated to the NAMS Knights’ Closet this past week. We collected 3 racks of shirts, blouses, sweaters, and coats; many shoes for colder weather; pants and leggings for many sizes, and clothing for the upcoming colder weather. Stay tuned for the next round of collections. This is a new program designed to help meet the basic needs of our students. We aim to create a “mini store” that our students in need can access and “shop” for up to date and in style clothes which fit properly and are seasonally appropriate. Students will be able to discreetly access the Knights’ Closet when referred to guidance or nursing by teachers and other staff members. Our goal is that by meeting some of our students’ basic needs, they can feel good about themselves and confidently get on with the business of focusing on their job of getting a good education. I would like to thank Debbi Raffalli (Raffallid@northandoverpublicschools.com) and Kathleen Pease (Peasek@northandoverpublicschools.com) and our many volunteers for all of their time and efforts in organizing this important work.
