A Message from the Health Room:

If your child has borrowed clothing from the Cather Health Room, please make sure the clothing is washed and returned to school as soon as possible. We have a limited number of clothing items for students to use throughout the school day, and we need your cooperation to ensure that a change of clothing is available to other students who may need it.

Thank you!

NMS Theater Tech Camp

This year, NMS is partnering with SNJ Studios to offer our Theater Tech Camp alongside their musical theater camp during the same week (June 8-12). Students in the tech camp will learn about sound, lighting, set design and stage management, and then apply those skills by handling the technical elements for the final performance of SNJ’s camp. Camp will be held from 6-8pm on Monday-Thursday and 9am-3pm on Friday with the final performance at 7:30pm. To register, complete this Google form. Please consider attending, even if you’ve participated in our previous Tech Camps—this will be a completely new, more in-depth experience with a strong focus on hands-on, practical learning.
