Several students in grades 4-6 participated in First Aid Club in recent weeks with Mrs. Sarnacki and Ms. Duryea. Students learned valuable lessons in infant, child and adult CPR, as well as general first aid. Students each received a CPR mask and first aid kit of their own. We would like to thank the Eagle Fund, who sponsored this activity. 

The seniors had their final walk through the SBRSD main campus this morning. Tomorrow they graduate.

Congratulations to the seniors who were honored at last night's Senior Awards Night! We are incredibly proud of your hard work and accomplishments. The Class of 2026 will walk the stage this Saturday—congratulations and best of luck to all of our graduates!

This past week, NMC had a wonderful visit from the female guinea pigs from Le Petit Ranch. Marjorie taught the students all about how to properly care for a guinea pig, and shared many interesting facts about them. The students also colored in their own guinea pig and answered questions based on all of the information they learned about them. This event was sponsored by our supportive NMMPTA. 

Last Wednesday evening, we had a great turnout for Family Math Night. Students from all three elementary schools were actively engaged in solving math problems, playing math games, and completing tasks at each of the “Mission Math Stations” to earn the special treat of cotton candy. It was wonderful to hear students engaging in mathematical discussions with their families and to see them proudly demonstrating their math skills in such a mature and confident way.

Eighth-grade art students explored layering techniques and stencil work to create unique paintings that reflect their personalities.

On May 28th, all of the NMC students and staff were entertained by the performers from the Nutshell Playhouse. They performed the show, “Spyjinks!”, which is about three spies and a parrot on their first mission to find a kidnapped bird named Yolandalinda. The show was hilarious and the students were engaged and laughing throughout the entire performance. This show was sponsored by a grant.

Fifth grade science students learned why our ancestors divided the day into hours, and how clocks measured the sun’s apparent movement. In the activity, Make a Shadow Clock, students made their own sundials. First, students used flashlights indoors to understand how the position of the light affected the time shown on the clock. Then, students took their shadow clocks outside to see how the position of the sun could tell them the time of day.

In a thrilling display of endurance and eco-friendly engineering, the Mt. Everett Racing Team powered their way to a stellar second-place finish at the 30th annual Connecticut Alternate Energy Race in Berlin, CT. In the 30-year history of the event, no school had recorded over 100 laps in the hour until yesterday when Mt. Everett and a team from Guilford, CT both achieved the feat. Mt. Everett recorded 113 laps, finishing second by a single lap. This was Mt. Everett’s second and final race of the spring season.

French students visited Le Petit Ranch for a french immersion field trip this week.
