SOCK DRIVE!!!
NMS Student Council invites you to collect socks for the annual People’s City Mission sock drive.
Kid socks, mom socks, dad socks, we will take them all! It's really simple. Just collect many pairs of new and gently used socks and drop them off in the lunch room in your grade’s bin. We will be collecting socks until February 25 in the hopes to gather 2,200 pairs of socks. We will even take those pesky singles you can't find a match for. There will be benchmark prizes for the school to earn along the way at 500, 1000, 1500 and our goal of 2200. Start bringing them in!
Lego kids leaving early at 2:45 today!!
