PSAT INFORMATION
We are excited to share plans for our upcoming Literacy Night on Tuesday, September 16! This year, families will participate in a scavenger hunt that guides them through activities on each hallway. At every stop, they’ll engage in fun, literacy-focused activities led by our ELA teachers. Along the way, families will collect clues and enjoy an evening of reading, writing, and community.
To make the night even more engaging, we are offering amazing incentives through a raffle drawing:
A Nintendo Switch with case and game
Three $25 Visa gift cards
A Bluetooth speaker
Note from Shiniqua Mays, NMS ELA Lead Teacher
