Science Fair
The science department has started working on our science fair projects. Students who are required to complete a science fair project may find resources such as help for topics, the CRSEF Rule Book, forms, Power Point slide and rubrics at http://www.collierschools.net/Page/1271
The District asks that everyone go online to update their volunteer application every year, if you plan to volunteer in any capacity in a Collier County Public School. Follow this link to sign in and update your information:  volunteer. Remember, if you plan to volunteer at a new school this school year (our school :) ), add the new school on your application.

Remember to please be counted! What does that mean? When you volunteer at a school, make sure those hours get logged!  Even if you don't care whether those hours are counted for your sake, the school benefits when the District sees the number of hours that you spend volunteering at our school. 
Free Money
We are still collecting Box Tops for Education! there will be collection boxes in the same two places they have been for years: in the media center and in the front office on the PTO table. Keep collecting them and send them in to us!! Thank You!
Remember to check the virtual flyers for local opportunities of all sorts!
Volunteer Opportunities
Someone is needed to fix the art work on the fences around school. This might be fun or a puzzle lover!  Email us at nnmspto@yahool.com if this might be you!
Save October 1st, 11:30a, at Panera for our first Fall Festival meeting! A huge event here at NNMS. We will need 30 or more volunteers for this event. If you have  questions or want to sign up please contact Martha Anderson at marthamka@yahoo.com
