Norwayne Middle School

Week 11 and fall is finally in the air!
Have a great week Cobras!

If you've seen our students literally lining the sidewalk in the mornings to get in the cafeteria, it's because we have the best of the best here at Norwayne!
Our Cafeteria Staff received a 100 on their Health Inspection today!
Way to go and thank you for taking care of our Cobras!

Currently, many households are currently experiencing delays in receiving their SNAP (Food and Nutrition Services) benefits. This can be very stressful, and it is important to make sure everyone has access to food and support during this time.

Whether you have been affected, or you know someone who may be, please visit https://foodfinder.foodbankcenc.org/. This website allows you to quickly find local food banks, pantries, and community meal sites, along with their distribution dates and times.

Again, please share this resource with anyone who may need assistance.

If you have any questions or need additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help connect you with resources.

Warm regards,

Erin Wise
Norwayne Middle School Social Worker

3 Home Games, Spirit Week, Trunk or Treat, OH MY!
We're just missing the full moon! :)

Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of drug use and to promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles. Celebrated each October, it encourages students to make positive choices and commit to living drug-free. This year's theme is "Life is a puzzle, solve it drug free!" To create awareness, students will have the opportunity to share their reasons for being drug free with a puzzle activity. Students will also have an opportunity to participate in a poster design contest, see flier for details.
And don't forget to wear red next Friday for spirit week!

And both teams won!! Whoop whoop!!!

Don't forget! Tuesday is our annual Trunk or Treat!
We can't wait to see you!

Greetings families!

Wednesday, October 22nd is Unity Day! On Unity Day we wear orange to show that we stand together in kindness, acceptance, and inclusion as a way to prevent bullying. As we lead up to Unity Day we encourage families to have conversations with their students about the importance of being kind and helping others feel a sense of belonging. We look forward to seeing everyone wear orange on Wednesday the 22nd!

💙💛 It’s School Cafeteria Appreciation Week! 💛💙

We’re sending a HUGE shoutout to our incredible Norwayne Middle School cafeteria team! 🍎🥪🍽️

Every single day, they keep our Cobras fueled, smiling, and ready to learn. From early mornings to busy lunches, they serve up delicious meals with kindness, care, and teamwork that truly make our school shine. 🌟

Thank you for all that you do — you’re the heart of our school, and we appreciate you more than words can say! 💙💛

🏀🔥 What an incredible experience! 🔥🏀

Last Wednesday, our 8th graders from Norwayne and Eastern Wayne Middle had a special Zoom call with Coby White of the Chicago Bulls! 🐂

Coby attended Eastern Wayne Middle, where our very own Coach Fricks taught him — talk about full circle! 🙌

Our students were glued to every word and truly inspired by his story of hard work, determination, and staying humble. 💪

Thank you, Coby, for taking the time to meet with us — and GO BULLS! ❤️🏀💙💛

Trunk or Treat Cobra Style happening October 28th!
We want to see if we can recognize you in your best costume!
See you there!
