Our NEMS faculty and staff took a well-deserved break today for some pumpkin smashing fun! Nothing says stress relief quite like turning leftover pumpkins into compost with a little extra enthusiasm.
Teaching and supporting our students is incredibly rewarding work, but everyone needs a moment to unwind. Our faculty and staff work so hard for our students - they definitely deserved this fun stress-relief session!
Thank you to our hardworking educators and staff for everything you do for our Blue Devils every single day! 💙
