Attention all parents who have a 5th grade student going to Nichols next year! On May 29th at 6 pm the Admin. Team at NMS will be in the HBB Auditorium to answer any and all questions regarding the transition to 6th grade. We will be sharing more information in the near future. In the meantime, mark your calendars and save the date!
Footwear
As the nice weather approaches I would like to remind all students to wear the appropriate footwear to school. We discourage students from wearing flip flops or any shoes that are not secure when running because of the fact that students participate in recess everyday in an area that is mostly pavement and students have PE twice per week. Please help us prevent student injuries and encourage appropriate footwear! Thank you!
Sportsmanship Challenge Awards
As you may have heard the most recent Burkland's Best Challenge is the Sportsmanship Challenge from the PE Department. To be selected for the award students must demonstrate the following......
• They are prepared for every class with appropriate clothing and footwear
• They complement both teams
• They are able to lose or win without complaining or bragging
• They are willing to work with everyone and do not complain about whose team
• They are skillful and lead others in games and performances
• They encourage their classmates and help them become better
• They are willing to play any position without complaints
• They understand that people bring different experience levels to sports and can adjust their skills to help their teammates be successful
Students that possess these characteristics often in physical education will be awarded a physical education to charm to add to their necklace! Ms. Campbell, Ms. McLaughlin and Mr. Whitelaw will be looking for students who demonstrate these characteristics in their physical education classes and the awards will be given out at lunch!
