Do you appreciate our nation and the men and women who selflessly serve our country?
Do you want a chance to share your appreciation?
If yes, then we have an opportunity for you!
Every year the VFW sponsors a student essay contest called the Patriot's Pen. This year, the theme is "What A Veteran [Has] Taught Me About America."
Last year, more than 60,000 students participated in this writing competition nationwide, and Northern Middle School students were a part of that. Our representative from the Dillsburg VFW encourages YOU to join in the competition again THIS school year.
If you are interested in more information and an application, please see your ENGLISH TEACHER or Mrs. McDonald in the upper lab SIP classroom next to the counseling office.

It's Tuesday, and we have some special NMS News clips this week, courtesy of 6th grader Josh Conway...
We're actually going to start with Josh' Motivational Monday quote from yesterday...
"Success isn't an accident. Success is actually a choice."
This is a very inspiring quote by Steph Curry. It reminds us that, if you succeed, it wasn't just an accident. It's because you had a positive mindset.
And now, since it is actually Tuesday, Josh has some True-False Questions for you...
1. TRUE or FALSE: The last time the Phillies won the World Series was in 2008.
(pause 3 seconds)
This is TRUE! Sorry to all you Phanatics out there. Maybe it will happen again soon.
2. TRUE or FALSE: MLB teams play on a 60-90 field (meaning that the pitching distance is 60 feet from the mound to home plate and the base paths are 90 feet in length)?
(pause 3 seconds)
This is FALSE!
What?!? Well, this was a bit of a "trick" question... Still, the pitcher's mound is really 60
feet AND 6 inches away from home plate.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Have a great day and please rise for a moment of silence followed by the playing of the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance.
