MS News - Wednesday, February 25, 2009

On Monday, March 9th all (7th and 8th grade) boys and girls who are interested in running track this year will meet at 3:45 in the Big Gym.
After the meeting, there will be practice at the MS until 5:00. You must have a physical on file with the boys or girls coaches to run. Please see Coach Hopper for more information in room 502.


Very Important!: Any students who have not returned their choice selection cards (to choose courses for next year) need to return their cards to the Counselors' Secretary, Ms. Miller TODAY. If you do not return a choice selection card, school administrators will choose your courses for you for next year.


Cheerleader tryouts are just around the corner for any 6th or 7th grader interested in cheering for NBMS next year.


There will be an informational meeting on Wednesday, March 4 in the NBMS cafeteria for you and your parents. It will start at 6:30, so don't be late!

Everything you will need to know about tryouts and cheering next year will be discussed, so it's really important that you attend the meeting.
