NMS Student Council hosts another spectacular Staff Appreciation Breakfast!
Another spirited event where our NMS Ambassadors created a welcoming and cheerful atmosphere. Arriving staff had help carrying their belongings, and then were invited to sit and indulge in a special buffet provided by our Student Council members and their families. Thank you to our StuCo members, all of the support from home, and to our StuCo co-advisors, Mrs. Jennifer McNamara and Mrs. Lisa Parker!
