Helping NRMS Students for the Holidays!

The Teen Tree is back for another holiday season. In the front office there is a Christmas tree with paper ornaments. Each ornament has the name of one needed gift item written on it. Stop by the office to pick up an ornament. Purchase the item and return it to school in the morning on Tuesday, December 13th. There will be hot cocoa for everyone who brings a gift! All gift items go to students here at NRMS.

Orchestra Students Giving Back to the Rockford Community

For this winter's performance cycle, we have a special opportunity to have our students perform in the community! We often talk to students about the many gifts and talents they have and the importance of sharing those with others and giving back, especially around the holidays. So, we are giving our orchestra students the chance to share their gift of music this December.

The holidays have arrived and we have some easy gifts for family, friends, and you for $20! Our Flo’s and Biggby coupon cards are worth hundreds of dollars in savings and you are supporting our students and Rockford Middle School Athletics!

These cards are better than a lotto ticket as you are a guaranteed winner! Check out the link below to order online and for additional details. I have some in my office for sale as well so feel free to stop down and purchase one from me as well.
