Service, Leadership and Academic Groups
These Groups run all year. Students are welcome to drop in as they can or attend on a regular weekly basis. Please listen to the morning announcements about when these groups are meeting, as they do not necessarily meet every week. Please contact the advisors for more information. Registration is not necessary for these groups.
Community Service Club
Want to make new friends and work cooperatively to make our community a happier place? Then you'll love the Community Service Club! We get together and come up with awesome ideas to help out. We've even been able to send gifts to kids in other countries through Christmas boxes and shoe drives! This is your chance to make a real difference, whether it's right here in our town or across the world. You can stop by every other Tuesday to see what we're all about, and you can join for free at any time. We can't wait to see you! .

NMS Student Government
Students are elected by their peers to represent them in the NMS Student Government. Once elected, the group determines the course of action they will take for the upcoming school year. They will help with organizing school events as well as recommending changes to the school community.
Advisor: Mrs. Callahan & Mrs. Zych
When & Where: First Thursdays of every month from 2-2:45 pm Room 224
Organizational Support
Organization takes work! Some students need help figuring out how to organize while others have an established system but need the structure of a time and place to organize their things independently. This club will help students organize their papers into folders and/or binders and organize digital files on their iPads. Students will also work on creating individualized homework or study checklists.
Advisor: Mrs. Sailer
When & Where: Wednesdays from 2-2:45 pm in Guidance Conference room
Best Buddies
During our meetings students will have the opportunity to interact and socialize while participating in a variety of activities including arts & crafts, Zumba, yoga, watching movies, and more. Even more important, of course, is what our students will be able to learn from one another during our Best Buddies meetings: social skills, patience, tolerance, perseverance , acceptance, empathy, and so much more.
