Siobhan was honored by the girls' basketball and cheer teams at last night's Senior Night.

The NMC PreK class has been doing a unit on books written and illustrated by Jan Brett. To go along with the book The Hat, we did a fun STEM activity on engineering a clothesline. The students were given two large craft sticks, two balls of clay, tape, scissors, a pair of small laminated socks, two tiny clothespins, and a clipboard with paper and a pencil. Working in pairs, the kids designed and built their clotheslines to see if they would hold up the socks. They were so excited to see their engineering work!

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Precision Autocraft for generously hosting our school’s EV Engineering class and providing students with an invaluable look into the auto body repair industry. Through hands-on demonstrations and clear explanations, your team helped students understand how collision repair operations function—from damage assessment and insurance coordination to structural repair, refinishing, and the growing role of electric vehicle safety and technology. This real-world exposure connected classroom learning to industry practice, highlighted career pathways in modern auto body repair, and emphasized the importance of precision, safety, and craftsmanship. We truly appreciate your time, expertise, and commitment to supporting student learning.

Our talented culinary students are currently working through their breakfast unit, and the delicious aromas are officially taking over the hallways.

Testing the elements of a good reaction! 🧪 Mt. Everett Chemistry students worked through their latest chemistry lab, observing how different substances like Lead II nitrate and Potassium iodide interact to form something entirely new.

Fifth graders at UME recently partnered with Mass Audubon for an immersive environmental residency. The students explored various types of community pollution and studied effective prevention strategies. To put their learning into practice, the class worked with Mr. Abrams to test these methods using a hands-on simulation model.

In our Photo 1 studio, time is becoming a medium rather than a measurement. By mastering long-exposure techniques, students are distilling minutes of motion into a single, luminous frame. These works transcend traditional photography, turning simple gestures into ethereal light trails and spectral silhouettes—a true testament to the art of painting with time

Good luck to our incredible robotics team as they head to Middletown, CT tomorrow for the VEX High School Robotics Competition! 🤖⚙️

Ms. Duval’s third grade science class use their knowledge of forces to engineer paper bridges that support as many pennies as possible.

Our winter pep rally was the perfect finale to a week of pre-break fun! Wishing every one of you a joyful and relaxing winter break.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the alumni who participated in today’s Alumni Day. Your insights and professional journeys provide invaluable inspiration to our current student body.

NMC Pre-K hosted a Color Party for parents in our classroom yesterday. We sang a song about mixing primary colors to create secondary colors and performed a gingerbread movement activity. Parents enjoyed seeing all the wonderful things we’ve been learning and working on, and they even got to sample the delicious treats we baked!

Mount Everett is Kicking off the last day before winter break with a burst of creativity at our morning workshops and festive door decorating contest!

Our PE classes spent the morning outsmarting the Grinch to get their holiday gifts back.

The Mount Everett Band program recently highlighted the power of mentorship with their "My Band Shirt, My Impact" initiative. Band seniors selected staff members who played a pivotal role in their journey, presenting them with personalized shirts and tributes. It was a beautiful reminder of the lasting bond between our educators and students.
