Election Day Bake Sale! November 8, 2016

NEMS is, once again, an election site and this promises to be a year with a large voter turn-out. We had a very successful bake sale four years ago during the last Presidential election, raising about $700 and we would LOVE to repeat that level of success this year. All money raised will go toward the PTA's Teacher Grants Fund.

If you are interested in contributing homemade baked goods (muffins, brownies, bars, cookies, quick breads...) you can drop them off at Jenn Bennington's house (3034 Johnson St NE) the weekend before Election Day up until the night before (November 5-7). If you are able to help staff the bake sale table, you can just bring your baked donation with you at that time.

If you are interested in helping to staff the bake sale, we need people to sell baked goods and coffee from 7:00 am until 8:00 pm (or whenever we run out of baked goods), you can sign up by clicking HERE or emailing Jenn Bennington.

Thank you!

Social Hour/Craft Sale April 21st

Buy tickets online here and you can pick them up at the door!

Nighthawks are real birds, but they're not actually hawks....

Nighthawk, an American bird of the goatsucker, or nightjar, family. Despite the name, it is not a true hawk. Nighthawks are mottled grayish brown, with white bands across their long, pointed wings. Their tails are slightly forked. They feed on insects, usually flying after their prey at dusk. The female lays two brown-speckled white eggs on the bare ground or on a flat roof.

Parent/Staff Happy Hour & Craft Sale Committee

 

We are planning to host a Happy Hour & Craft Sale for NEMS parents and staff at one of the Northeast breweries in April and we'd love your help choosing the location, getting the word out, and gathering some arts/crafts to sell. Join the committee and meet other NEMS parents!

 

You can let us know you're interested by going to our Volunteer Spot site for the committee at http://vols.pt/mRbAdr.

 

We need some people to sell NEMS t-Shirts at the Fall Play performances. If you can spare just about 30 - 45 minutes one of those nights, it would be a great help. And we've made it SUPER easy to volunteer because we're using VolunteerSpot to organize our volunteer opportunities from now on.

Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:

Participate in the 2014 PTA Survey!

The PTA is planning for the future. You can help us by completing this 2 minute (really) survey. It is completely anonymous and anyone interested in the PTA can complete it. It’s okay if you are an 8th grade family! Your input will still give the PTA good information for planning and serving Northeast Middle School best!  Follow the link below to the survey!
