NIS had a "tailgate" party on Friday for the Super Bowl.
What a week it has been at Newport Intermediate School! 🎉
🏀 Huge shoutout to our 6th & 7th grade girls basketball team for an amazing win last night! They brought the energy and earned a 28–10 victory over RA Jones Middle School. We are SO proud of the way they worked together, played with confidence, and represented our school!
🎶 Music class has been buzzing too! Students have been playing instruments more and more this week. Students in 4th grade learned to play Hot Cross Buns on the xylophone and 6th grade band on brass instruments. It has been so fun to see them learning new skills and making music together in class!
🌟 We also wrapped up the week by celebrating our Student of the Month and Staff of the Month! We recognized them here at school AND had the honor of celebrating them again at our board meeting. Their leadership, positivity, and hard work make a big difference every day.
We love seeing our students shine in so many ways! 💙👏
