LET'S CELEBRATE!!!
It's School Lunch Hero Day! School Lunch Hero Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday in May. This annual observance is a chance to showcase what a difference school nutrition professionals make in the lives of every child who comes through the cafeteria.
Our school lunch heroes provide nutritious school breakfasts and lunch meals, afterschool snacks, and summer meals to ensure no child goes hungry. They also provide nutrition education, support social-emotional learning, and promote healthy meal choices for students and staff.
Thank you to Ms. Baker and her amazing team for what you do every day!!!

"On Saturday April 20th, 8 NMS choral students performed at this years NC Middle School All State Choir event in Greensboro NC; Victor Battle Jr, and Kyleigh Millard (6th grade choir); Claire Boney, Jalyn Brown, and Allyssa Derksen (Treble Choir); Sarah Heath, James Corbin Urban, and Dason Wellman (Mixed Choir).
Students spent the past two and a half months learning five pieces, all unique to their own ensembles, before traveling up this past Thursday, April 18th. Given the distance these students had to travel, they went up a day early to explore the wonderful world of Old Salem and learn about the musical Moravian people that inhabited the city.
Students rehearsed Friday from noon until 9pm at night with a dinner break between, before returning to rehearse once more Saturday morning before the afternoon concert. There were roughly 200 students from the mountains to coast (73 schools total) in each ensemble. Thank you for all your hard work and making Norwayne proud!"
