Thank You, Mr. Gorges
Congratulations on Your Retirement!
|
|
Chuck Gorges is retiring after 23 years of service as the district's Maintenance Technician. Mr. Gorges has helped us through a number of projects through the decades ranging from restructuring to roofing, and he played a big part in keeping our buildings looking great and running efficiently. His dedication to do whatever needed to be done to advance the mission of the district has always been appreciated, and his presence will be missed.
We are grateful for your dedication to the district. Enjoy!

Juntos Español
Spanish Speaking at the Elementary Schools
High School Spanish Honor Society students have been visiting the elementary schools to facilitate Juntos Español (Spanish Together). This program allows high school students to work with elementary children who are eager to learn basic second-language skills that include greetings, conversation questions, songs, dance, and games. Both groups report this as an exceptional learning experience.

Many New London staff members recently participated in Higher Education Dress-Up Day. Participants dressed in university attire and donated over $700 that will be applied to scholarships to assist 2018 graduates entering the education field.

Fuel Up Team Sponsors Taste Testing
Healthy Eating Options
|
|
The NLMS Fuel Up Team hosted a taste testing where students were invited to sample fruits and vegetables to include brussel sprouts, jicama, radishes, red pepper, kiwi, pears, and cherries.
Many students were introduced to some of these healthy options for the first time. Some reported not knowing what a radish was while others shared they had never eaten a pear with the skin still on it. This was a fun and memorable way to introduce healthy options.
